Officially week 7 Dec 31: Came back a week later to very heavy pots, needed 36 hour drying period, not happy, smaller plant has tips of leaves curling down, some like taco, dryed out the pots and went back to normal conservative feeding, need to fine tune the auto irrigation setup before I use it again for sure. All in all, nothing crazy happened. Really cool to see a plant be small, but way bigger after a week of vacation. First grow seems to be going pretty good! PS: I think my hygrometer is broken, saying 85-100% RA even when I significantly improve airflow and it doesn't seem anywhere near that. Gonna do the salt paste test on the hygrometer . Jan 1: I recalibrated my hygrometer and it’s working great, weird leaf curling of smaller plant still happening but seems to be improving, big plant is frosty and fat for week 7, seems to be at same stage in development as smaller plant but the pheno is beautiful.

So far so hairy... 🙏 Hello everyone, another week of flowering, you can already see how the white hair begins to grow beautifully and slowly turn into buds. I think I screwed up the description of which day it is, but when I finally find some time, I will try to verify it for you. All the best, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇

Looking into Eco-oil and need oil treatments for thrips and aphids noticing more and more damage and starting to appear in colonies of about 10-20 under certain leaves Happy with overall flower development although wishing the Plant really expanded and stretched her arms a bit more

Day 15 Update : Decided to grab a tape measure to check canopy heights on a whim and discovered that my light was hanging 35 inches from “Cellie” Cereal and Milk . Wowzers 👀! So I raised the plant to be 26 inches from the light that I also dimmed down to about 40% . It works out that I can try to get the most out of the end of flower stretch for the older gal who shall no more than be mentioned for reference to accentuate the great glorious glamorous “Cellie”. The humidity plummeted after I did a major defoliation of the older gals so I adjusted the airflow rate of the lower in-line fan and the upper inline exhaust fan with the carbon filter . I lowered them both to the lowest setting & the humidity returned to “normal” Let me explain my reasonings/thinking behind my adjustments which are experimental at BEST. It’s worth also mentioning without having to preset a single thing on my 70pint Dehumidifier located inside this tent it is legitimately only plugged into my PRESET humidistat controller which is set to 50%-46% RH WITH an alarm on highs of 55% and lows of 43% . In real life what this translates to is when this humidity controller triggers the dehumidifier ON @50%RH immediately the fan of the Dehumidifier begins running. However this does not help the rising humidity that is occurring (it will reach 55%-60.2%RH ). Given a fixed amount of time , the condenser(atleast what it sounds like . .again, it could be anything) turns on . It is when this “condenser” “sounding” component begins working that the humidity IMMEDIATELY plummets down to my low point of 46% So to make a long story short the humidity gets vacuumed to 46%RH & the dehumidifier turns off, bc of the PURPOSEFUL EXPERIMENTAL TWEAKING making all air exchange fans low leveled the humidity slowly but steadily rises to 50%RH then the dehumidifier is triggered on but only the fans initially and the humidity eventually reaches 55%RH-60.2%RH & then the humidity gets all its hair snatched out by the dehumidifier and drops back down to 46%RH. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 with all that said of anybody was even interested per my tents leaf canopy height temperature average good to great OR LITE GREEN TO DARK GREEN VPD for my temperature begins @ 60 & ends @ 52 which is kind of a perfect storm for OUR GIRL “CELLIE” oooooooorrrrrrrrrrr sssssssoooooo I think/hope . She still hasn’t needed watering since being transplanted, she should now ready and willing to stretch those toes and we need the opportunities to top water that soil a few times to make those dry amendments available to her . More pics of later the week coming as we go . . Hopefully . Diligence is a practice Day #17: giving her some water today, no specific amount just until she feels the right amount of “heavy”. She was given 3 different batches of water once ph’d to 6.3 once ph’d to 6.7 one ph’d to 6.5. She’s grown an inch in 2 days. Also swapped out the smart hygrometer system to a different brand . So far it has all the capability I was looking for but I need to run 2 more experiments to know for certain it lives up to my needs and its price tag 😁 Day 18 Update: she grew an inch taller nice 👍 The smart hygrometer system has reported/experience Bluetooth failures twice already(although I don’t know exactly what that means considering I purchased this for it’s Wifi capabilities ) I didn’t think to check it whilst I was away so I cannot yet say If it meets my final expectation/need I bought a soil ph meter & it indicates “my mix” is at 3.1 ph 👀 hmm 🤔 I’m wondering if this is a must fix or can I get by .eventually she will be transplanted and at that time I can use my new digital soil ph probe to construct her new blend moving forward but I am curious is I mixed another batch at 3 something ph would it matter ? In the beginning I wasn’t ph’ing any of my watering just because I assumed my soil mixture was highly acidic because of the 70ish pecernr peat moss base . I also assumed that it would be acid fixing for the water I put in it and therefore wouldn’t need to ph it and I did just fine just giving plain old tap water when thirsty until I experience VPD issues & in an effort to pinpoint what my exact issue was and how to fix it I of course eliminated all the variables and dialed in on my ph of my feed water and now my soil so it leaves me wondering does the soil need to be relatively 6.1 ph or is the 3.1 I’m flying at alright also . I checked the other 3 currently in here getting through flower & two of them are in the 3’s for ph & one of them is 6.2(the largest of them all) how ever she was the largest of them all always and oddly enough I mixed one big batch for them and transplanted them at the same time so I get two of them having the same ph as “Cellie” but the other that is in ph heaven is an oddball Should I top her here or supercrop later hmm I need to decide my vision for this thing Day 19 Update: ponytailed her youngest internode for about 16hrs she aggressively popped out of it twice ! It didn’t even work for 24hrs when I try it again it’ll be before the internode is so strong . Also rigged up a 16in oscillating wall-fan that currently being held with 2 zip ties , 2 rubber bands , & a smidget of duct tape and MAJORITY OF FAITH keeping it in place . The biggest plus to my added circulation is that I got the 16in fan for ! A win is a win . Pics uploads will be held for the next 3 days until the end of week 3 upload . Drop a thumbs up Day 20 Update : THE FAN FELL! But no one was damaged or injured . I re-rigged it . This time with duct tape , 3 popsicle sticks , 2 heavy duty zip ties & 1 regular strength zip tie . SHES SOLID NOW 😂 I did some solid rigging this time & have videoed my handy work . Also I forgot to turn my A/C back on before leaving the house so temps and humidity skyrocketed and swung for 9 hours until I got home . The temp in the tent was 84.4 and the humidity went from 42.4 to 57.5 to 42 every three mins. Day 21 Update : SHES A PRETTY GIRL. RQS says Cereal Milk is a slightly sativa dominant hybrid but the pheno of this particular seed seems to lean more towards indica I’m not mad at it ! I’m getting more stoked to see what she can do. She still hasn’t received any additional water since day #18.

It’s day 33’from seed. All of the plants are really healthy. The plants have a really great root system at this point… I am currently slowly moving the light intensity up to the veg area. Now that are in a groove they are about to explode… I’m hoping I can flip the plants to flower in 1 weeks but I’m thinking I will wait to weeks and let them get a little larger. The plants are just now starting to look visually different next weeks update I will be ababoe to go into the visual differences, they are just not that extreme yet to really talk to much about.

Day 50 overdue feeding and watering. 5g SimPro Bloom half gallon of 6.5PH spring water each. I'll never choose this fertigation method again. So much easier to amend the medium then top dress every 30 days. The plants seem normal for 50 days from seed, but not normal for a plant that is supposed to be harvest ready 60 days from seed. A few people here on GDs ran this strain way passed 60 days and maybe this is why. It's possible some phenotypes just take longer. No smell and no trichomes at this point. I would guess they need another 25 to 30 days to nug up. Day 52 they are both praying but still cannibalizing themselves. 5g isn't enough. Considering a top dressing. Day 54 - pulling 5 yellow leaves per day. This is not nutrient deficiency, these plants are fading. SMH I am behind pissed! Wasted 2 months of tent space and nutrients. I didn't do everything right, but the lesson for me is to stay away from fast strains. This is actually motivation to switch to photos. More forgiving of the small mistakes. In this case I overwatered in early veg. I should have tossed them both then. My preamendment ratios were off and I switched to water feeding during preflower. All of this has resulted in a plant that looks to be done in a week with marble sized fluffy buds that have zero trichomes and no smell. PISSED OFF!!!!! I'm learning through my failure but it still sucks! Day 55 Watered both with rain water, CalMag, and SimPro Bloom. I know CalMag isn't recommended in flower but I don't care about this bull crap plant anymore. I'm popping new beans and am gonna run these two as far as possible to see if I can get a decent top cola at least. Still pretty pissed. Day 56 Pics show how they respond to watering. Sheryl is praying, Candace leaves are up, but not praying like Sheryl. The only smell on either is from a stem rub. No visible trichomes. Not when I even zoom in. So odd! Day 58 Finally have some odor! These plants are growing like a regular auto-flower. I've been freaking out because the breeder says it's a fast strain (60 days). The lesson here is to always listen to the plant. Scrap the website crap and pay attention to pistils, leaves, and trichomes. They look and smell good for day 58. The yellow leaves are likely due to me adopting an abbreviated / hybrid feed schedule to suit 60 day seed to harvest. The day 55 feeding was 6g of SimPro Bloom in 51oz of water and that seemed to hit the spot. I need a good loupe so I can have a strong finish. Day 61 Fed Candace 1tbl of Terp Tea with Azos & Mykos, plus Fish Sh!t. Half gallon of Spring water. Bottom fed Sheryl Azos, mykos, & half tbls of SimPro Veg in 16oz of Spring water.

Je commence la deuxième semaine de strech J'ai modifié la puissance de la led et la hauteur pour pouvoir changer le "dli" (dli week 2= 35) JAI ENFIN RECU LE CALMAG après 10 jours🙄 wtf. Cette semaine , j'ai fait une erreur , j'ai laissé mes plants 5 jours sans boire 😔😔 (je n'avais pas le choix). J'ai changé ma manière d'arroser. Les 6 premières semaines a chaque arrosage (additifs et/ou engrais) A partir de cette semaine , j'arrose 1 fois avec les additifs et les engrais , 1 x juste avec le calmag et 1 x juste à leau. Je suis à flo+13 , donc normalement la fin du stretch, mais je m'étonne de voir que les plantes sont petites. La plus grande fait maximum 70 cm.🤔🤔🤔. Demain normalement le stretch devrait être fini. Et puis on verra . Le reste la semaine prochaine...

How the time has flown by. She completes her flush this week and will start her dry, Sticky, smelly and buds are thick. Extremely happy with how she handled these last few weeks! Excited to taste her.

I am not worthy! I am not worthy. I must start out by saying that I should never have doubted this girl when I first started growing her. The outcome ended in 2.7 oz. And .5oz of trim which i left in my shed and lost to mold. :/ First hit is like getting brain freeze! Its that strong. I have never grown anything like this before. It is denser, stickier, smellier and stronier than anything I have ever grown! There is so much resin. I cant wait to she how she does as an oil. I plan on continuing to grow the rest of the 6 shooter seeds I have until I run out! Taste is of a heavy diesel, slightly woody with some sweetness to it. Very smooth too. The high lasts for hours! It starts off at about 75% strength and then peaks about 20 min later. Has you walking all over the place picking shit up and setting down in random places. Constsantly on the move with this one. After about a few hours, the relaxation and pain relief set in. I mix this with some of my cbd buds and it works wonders. That you so much fast buds! Excellent quality!!

Ok these girls are finishing up and I have been using clean water for a little over a week now I'm using flawless finish for the last 7 days.i have one girl that is definetly done but I'm letting her flush a little longer to make sure I have a clean smoke.i did use water and fish shit for a couple waterings but I don't think that will affect anything with taste.if anything I hope it makes it better.my last harvest is still kinda harsh and more of a black ash still.i started using my burp jars today so hopefully that will help.i just over did it with nutrients.even though they are organic they still need a good flush.im going back to advanced nutrients to see if that helps

In week 5 (=flowering week 3) all 18 CANNALOPE HAZE plants from DNA-GENETICS continued to develop their flower crowns. The lamps are now hung a little higher at a distance of 50 cm (=LUMATEK) and 60 cm (=SANlight) and both still run at 100% power (=no more dimming for now!). The plants on the right under the Q6W-Gen. 2 LED-Lamps from SANlight are a little bit taller and still have a darker, healthier green color. The amount of flower crowns also appears to be more, but is hard to recognize by eye anymore. The plants on the left side under the Lumatek PRO 600W are developing good and produce lots of flower crowns, but appear to be lighter in color. My waterings are always with tab-water only, since the BIOTABS nutrients are for the FULL-CYCLE, its sooooo easy and convenient, I LOVE IT! 😎 The HOMEBOX growtent is now nicely filled out and my trellis (=plastic netting) is filling out very well! The trellis will hold up the branches under the weight of the HUGE tops I expect later in flowering...😁

At Day 12 I transferred the seedlings in pots. The auto strains were moved in their final pots(~10L) whereas the Cookies Gelato were moved in smaller pots(~6L).

I welcome you from Russia my friends from different parts of the world. The end of 16 weeks has come. Plants already fully show their ripeness, and buds SAG from their weight. Soon I will be harvesting, as soon as I get the final dry product I will make the last update of this diary.

Hello. There were difficulties in growth. Corrected the mistakes of the past days. The ground was too wet. Very few useful items. 4 bush came to life. I'm fighting for the other three. I created a new report with the same sieve bank, but with a new earth.

I'm going to probably have to check with the tape measure for next week shes still stretching! Its definetly the most massive auto and I am looking forward to doing the same strain with low stress straining fully indoors. Some trichomes and definetly a very strong diesel undertone for aroma. Last night the low was 59 degrees in the greenhouse I believe one of the warmest nights we have had this summer. 4 days ago it was 34 outside for a low and I assume around 40 or 45 in the greenhouse. I have been feeding heavy with warm worm casting tea that I brew up 5 gallons at a time and i use 3 cups of castings. Check back next week to see how big this bud gets! And remember it's always 4:20 somewhere
