Day 1 week 3
Starting the week with second set of leaves,1st real leaves single leaves, second set is 3. It looks like one of the seedling leave is fading?.. Watching, maybe add nutes ? this week
08/22/2018
First root touching water! Here come the roots!🙏 for good week. Not sure when I add nutes. Maybe mid week. The codytledons (seedling leaves) are still healthy suggesting to me they still have nutes for seedling growth.
08/25/2018
More leaves,more roots,still no nutes,codytledons still looking good no fade.
08/26/2018
Uploaded root shots, codytledons may be withering away look closer tomorrow mornin
08/27/2018
Got up to 90° in tent, I turned on the red spectrum last night at 25%, Blue spectrum is at 100%
Also some signs that codytledons turning pale, nutes coming soon 1/2 strength 💪 of course see how she responds increase as needed.

2-3 weeks left of flowering.
Buds are starting to bulge out on the sides and are very dense.
Only been getting a pine scent up until now, slightly skunky sweet smell starting to come through as well.

Another week for this SOG of Auto's from our friends fastbuds, at the moment they are doing great, i do notice that some genetics required less food than others (they all got the same amount but some showed signs of N toxicity last weeks)
At the moment we noticed the stretch and we needed to put the lamp higher, we are growing with a TS1000 at the moment and things are looking good 😊

Started having some leaf issues at the end of week 6, defoliated, gave medium/heavy feeding of big bloom. Going to start flushing with distilled water for a few days and see if any improvement, only fan leaves affected at this time.
Day 45: checked ph of soil, showing 7.0, just ordered some fox farms ph down should be here in 48hrs
Day 49: bought a reliable pH testing pen and found my distilled water to be 9.5! Mixed up some spring water/nutes/pH down at 5.8/5.9 . Hopefully this does the trick!

Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now.
Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l.
Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely.
I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it.
"Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers,
Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain,
Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours,
He slowly wept to witness her pain.
Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers,
and in the fourth week you started to gain,
Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered,
I thought you meek, I was wrong once again.
Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers.
She set a pace, a pace she maintained,
Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers,
And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain."
Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell.
Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit.
Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy!
Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again.
The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth.
Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching.
Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards.
I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early.
Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted.
Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

Day 2 of week 8 - Sunday 11th October
Nutes in today, all looking good and pistils still coming through nicely.. Girls will need a bit of lower defoliation again but will wait till later this week..
UPDATE: Day 4 of week 8 Tuesday 13th October:
More LST and defoliation today, pistils looking so lovely 😊! Nutes in as usual. Defo beginning to stretch so LST is proving a little tougher to do as the stems are getting much stronger now.. May have to abandon metal spikes and start tying down to the sides of the fabric pots. Things are moving much faster now and water intake in increasing too. Happy days!
UPDATE: Day 6 of week 8 Thursday 15th Oct
Nutes in and a little more LST. Really peeved as I bent the main stem a little too hard on one of the girls and she had a slight crease in the stem now 🤬... I hope this doesn’t affect her growth or that I loose the main cola.. But it’s too late to change it now so keeping my fingers crossed that she’s as hardy as a I think she is.. Only time will tell. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Enjoying this project immensely 😍❤️

This week was no less stressful, but the previous week prepared us.
More and more snow turns white. The microscope is ready.
Nutrient solution at the maximum recommended parameters. But there is a problem with the tips of the leaves, they turn yellow first and then dry up and turn brown. I think this is the consequence of the maximum ppm. direct sunlight, a running giant fan at a distance of 20 cm, and an unstable ph lvl.
There were significant changes in temperature from 16 at night to 31 during the day. The funnest is when it rains after a hot day. and they turn off the electricity at night.
A humid environment of 65-70% without a fan is my nightmare in reality. So a piece of cardboard and energetic hand movements created the wind and the impression that I crazy
But there are often good times, when the temperature is 26-27 degrees and the humidity is 45% without a humidifier.
The girls smell amazing.😋😋😋

Die Samen wurden am 08.04 in die Erde zum keimen gesetzt und bereite 3 Tage später sind 2 von 3 gekeimt und haben das "Tageslicht" erblickt.
Keimlinge Nummer 4 kam jetzt 2 Tage später mit kleinen start Schwierigkeiten die Samenhülle wurde abgestreift jedoch befand sich eine weitere Hülle um den Keimlingen welche er heute an final abgeworfen hat.
Woche 1: 08.04 - 15.04
18/6 Lichtzyklus
Lichtabstand 30cm (China LED 100w aktuell - Mars Hydro FC 1500 folgt demnächst)
LUX 7000 IN 18h
16DIL 18h
Temperaturen zwischen 24 und 28 Grad nach vollen 18h Beleuchtung.
Luftfeuchtigkeit zwischen 50 und 69% gehalten.
Am 13.04 habe ich einen kleinen Ventilator dazugeschaltet ihn aber nicht direkt auf die Pflanzen gerichtet sondern nur auf die Wände damit die Luft Abprallen kann und so die kleinen sich langsam aber sicher daran gewöhnen können.
Um die Luftfeuchtigkeit etwas aufrecht zu erhalten habe ich zusätzlich ein feuchtes desinfiziertes Tuch oben in das Zelt gehangen und halte dies bei Bedarf feucht da ich meinen Autoflowern noch kein umtopfen zumuten möchte und die "Domkuppel" zu klein wurde um die Luftfeuchtigkeit so zu regulieren.
Stand nach Der 1. Woche
Die beiden großen Ladys sind mittlerweile knappe 5cm in die Höhe gewachsen und fangen schon an das 2. Blattpaar auszubilden.
Die kleine Lady hat sich von ihren start Schwierigkeiten gut erholt sie misst aktuell gute 3.5cm sie fokussiert sich meines Erachtens auch auf die Ausprägung der Blattpaare.

After 3 days, when the temperature rose above 11 degrees, I could finally remove the greenhouse from the pet bottle.
I did the first fertilizing with Advanced nutrients Voodoo juice, Piranha and Tarantula for better development and protection of the root.
Unfortunately, the pet bottle greenhouse, which was dewy and dirty from snail slime, caused the main stem to pull out more than I would have liked.
I like it when the main stem is low and immediately starts to form secondary branches

Last week for our C-vibez grom dutch Passion! 🇳🇱
Awesome strain, fruity and citric smell with very hard and sticky buds, we see trichomes all over the plant and leaves!
This strain is close to one of my favorites so far.
This week we continue with water and in some days we will harvest!
