End of Week 8 (First week of flower) Increased the CO2 to 1200ppm and the ladies love it, already started stretching within the first 3 days of flower which shows that CO2 definitely boosts the grow cycle of cannabis. The main top-sites are popping up everywhere and everything looks evenly spread out. I defoliated again because the fan leaves are growing so fast and blocking bud sites. I also did one last lower canopy maintenance and removed small and stalky bud sites and stems below the trellis net to make sure I get maximum energy distribution to the main colas. I also added some GHF BioEnhancer to make sure the soil-microbes are happy and that the plants reach their maximum potential. Pest Report: EXTERMINATED! Thrips VS Ladybugs VS Neem Oil... I decided to fight fire with fire - I purchased Swirski-Mites from Koppert (They are beneficial insects that feed on the eggs and larvae of thrips and other unwanted pests). As for the adult thrips - I got very lucky and found about 10 Ladybugs in my garden and decided to introduce them into my grow room as they will feed on adult thrips and any other unwanted pests. Then to be extra sure I know that neem oil hinders the life cycle of pests like thrips causing them to stop colonising in my grow room. So I sprayed the ladies every day during the dark period to make sure there are no pests that I or the Ladybugs have missed. Mission accomplished. No more wilting and definitely no more thrips.

2/6: Amnesia 3 is just about 6 inches tall now. Trainwreck is only a couple inches behind. Still keeping the temps between 73-82 and the humidity in the mid to low 70s. After thoroughly watering the very healthy, young tomato plant that coesxists in the tent, the tips of some of the leaves turned yellow. That makes me wonder if soaking the soil for the first time since transplant caused a bit of nutrient burn. I'm going to avoid any nutrients the first time I water Amnesia 3 and Trainwreck fully, to avoid the same potential issue. They're not looking too thirsty yet though. 2/8: Amnesia 3 is tall enough and has a thick enough main stem to start slowly low stress training with a rubber coated gardening wire. I pre-drilled holes in my buckets for this occasion, and the wire fits well. Each day for the next week I'll gently pull the wire to slowly bend the main stem downwards, similar to how braces work on teeth: a long, slow procedure. 2/9: Woke up to Trainwreck's leaf tips pointing downwards, so I took it as a sign to go ahead and give it its first watering. I siphoned up a bit of the runoff water, and it came back at a PH of 4! That's not good; however, after researching a bit, it's likely that I could have siphoned up a pocket of low PH nutrient-filled water, making my reading way off in terms of the PH of the whole slurry of runoff. If the leaves don't bounce back, I'm going to take that as a potential sign of Nitrogen toxicity and will monitor more closely. Will probably make plans for a flush if it progresses any worse than downward leaves. Nitrogen toxicity can cause fragile, dark green leaves that point down in a shape similar to a claw, among other symptoms. 2/12: Watered Amnesia 3 for the first time since transplant. Getting taller and less bushy in some spots, so I may turn up the lights from 60 to 75% tomorrow, to see if I can increase some more growth. But before, I want to make sure this watering doesn't cause any nute burn from the soil.

Easy to grow plant

Transplanted to one gallon pots,for further growing, definitely two different phenotype. Gonna look at old pics and narrow down its parents traits. More pics later gotta go to work. Finish update tonight 2/04/18 #1 has pointed more darker leaves. #2 has rounded less pointed paler green leaves. Also purplish traits seen in the stems.

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 😊 The strawberry gorilla is getting a lot taller than the rest

Been flushing now 7 days. One good 5l flush and after that was dried with help of little fan continued 2l at time. I was gonna keep these couple days longer but I need this tent for next plants today so this went down. Well trichs are cloudy and some amber ones. so 10th week only got to half way but next harvest update coming up.😏👽😵😌

Last week of actual veg! I plan to stick to the same old lighting and watering schedule this week but am gonna experiment with a foliar feed of the potassium humates to see how she likes it. I figure it's better to test things like that now than in flowering. She's beginning to develop something between the nodes, though it's still too early to tell for sure if she's a girl. (It was a feminized seed so I certainly HOPE so!) This plant has given me absolutely zero problems despite being in the most maligned soil under a weak-ass CFL bulb AND transplanted, which is supposed to be a no-no for autos. It def looks unmistakably like pot now lol so I've gotta figure out where to hide it should the landlord come in. (Legal state, illegal building). Hoping this Ona Pro Gel will be sufficient to offset the stench once she starts reeking. 😁 So my 1st attempt with the humates was a fail. I for some reason thought the pH was too high so I sprayed some white vinegar into the mix to bring it down, which it did. But then I read that you're NOT supposed to mix the two, plus I'd possibly made the solution way too strong by using online "recipes" vs. what the package said: 1 tsp per gallon water. YIKES. I'd used 0.7 grams in 2 liters the 1st time. 🤦🏻‍ Thankfully I only sprayed that mix on the two bottom leaves before realizing what I'd done, so I sopped it up, poured out the rest and made a more dilute mixture without the vinegar this time. I used my little 8 Fl. oz spray bottle to mist the plant from a healthy distance before her brief dark period, which is where she's at now. Did a 2nd foliar feed the following day and she's looking just dandy! (Aside from the twisty taco leaves at the top lol). After watering, she was incredibly bloated with leaves curling downward in that tell-tale "over watered" claw. How this is possible when I water only 1x every 7 days, grow in a fabric pot, keep fans on her at all times and am using moisture control soil is beyond me, but it would appear this plant HATES water. The soil was bone dry when I watered & I even pH'ed the water this time before giving her a drink.... no luck. Oh, and the H2O is room temperature every time. Same 16.9 FL oz. purified drinking water as last time... After some reading it looks like this strain is just highly finicky and somewhat harder to grow than other autos, though most people ended up happy with the results. This also explains why she's so tall with so few leaves/branches: they say Zkittlez Auto stretches like crazy. I'm gonna try to stop obsessing now. I added a 2nd CFL bulb (yellow) to see if it boosted her growth any, and sure enough, I got some noticeable and rapid change in her appearance after only one night. So that was a good thing. Next week will be when I switch to 20/4 light schedule and try a soil feed of the Potassium Humates with her once-weekly watering lol. Stay tuned. Final update for the week: I put pipe cleaners on the ends of her big branches to help open up the bud sites. It's too late for actual LST, plus she's so sensitive I doubt she'd like it. Don't wanna waste 1-3 days recovering from that. But I'll probably lop off 2, if not 4, leaves early next week. (1-2 sets total). She's not leafy enough to "leaf tuck" as planned but some of those bottom ones are def redundant.

I will be careful every time I encounter an insect problem and use an insecticide, I will eventually get rid of it with a water care method

Lollipopped today (Day 28). Hope I did well.

This week was half veg half bloom. I may have to find a new home soon so I've decided to flip all my plants into flowering by the middle of week 07. I'm really glad I took this clone, it is already showing signs of a great yield. All stems are trying to become main colas 😆 This OG Clone is being taller an taller hour after hour. Big flowers incoming!

Сорт однозначно рекомендую к выращиванию, стойкий и сильный, растет без проблем 😉 Дальше хочу попробовать вырастить два куста этого сорта в горшках по 3 литра, один будет расти без всяких вмешательств, второй будет с LST Всем спасибо и удачи 🍀 ✊

This week the new growth of the plants transitioned from looking relatively healthy to droopy and yellowed. I wasn't sure what the issue was at first and thought it might be light stress. After more research, I determined that I had what looked very much like a zinc deficiency, which is almost always a symptom of over-watering, which is the most common mistake for new growers, i.e. "Me". I had assumed that adding a good amount of perlite to my soil and using smart pots would prevent me from running in to any drainage issues but I guess not. I was up to 1.5 liters per plant when I realized that it was too much. I also realized I was misreading my syringe which I use to mix nutrients, and that i had been giving only 1/10 of the liquid nutrients that I thought. I'm super embarrassed about the mistake but I'm going for full transparency here, so there it is. Course correction takes places after day 31.

Fattening up. Smelling super fruity and swinging. Added support to the bigger branches. Over the past 3 weeks the flowers have just fattened up and keep getting bigger!

Well week one of flower has come and gone. I am pretty happy with the progress so far but I am a little concerned that I may have flipped a little too early. Oh well, this is my first DWC run so there will undoubtably be a learning curve. The plant looks super healthy at this point. The cooler internals are: 6.0 pH 270ppm on the 500 ppm scale. 0.5 EC 66F water temp Onward 😎🍻🌱

Pictures are from Day 91. Top Gun 2 is coming to the finish line, the whole tent reeks and starting to see good amounts of amber, although the buds aren’t as solid as I was hoping for. I could harvest as soon as today. This grow has been another great experience of learning about these awesome plants. Please also check out my gorilla cookies grow that went alongside these two topguns. Thanks!

Seemed to have perked back up after a healthy feeding starting to flower now

Well everything is going fine now its just making sure she feels all comfy and nice. The yellow leave got all their nutes sucked up and dried out till it had no use anymore for the plant. So I took them off by hand . The smell is like citrus, berries and pine. So I got that right. Trichomes are looking wonderfull and so fresh. Only a few weeks left before harvest. Now hoping for the buds to swell up more. 😊😃

Aun así salió todo para alante Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

# La germination c'est bien passé la graine était foncée et tigrée. Elle a sortit son germe dans le verre d'eau et c'est enraciné en +/-96h avec un petit peu d'aide. 💯 Jusqu'à présent Zamnezia seeds 🌱🌱🌱 # 08/14: zamnezia ma fait cadeau de 3x3 graines pour essayer leurs variétés. Donc un grand merci à zamnezia ! Je n'ai mit que une graine de GSC auto zamnezia seed à germer aujourd'hui pour ce qui est de la méthode de culture j'hésite encore car je viens d'acquérir un waterfarmer de chez GHE: un système par percolation. Enfin j'ai +/- 5 jours pour me décider ! D'ailleurs si quelqu'un a des conseils à mes donner quand à l'utilisation d'un système hydroponique par percolation, je suis preneur ! Great day at the growdiaries.com communauté 🌞🌱🌱🌱🌞 À peine à 7 heures après l'avoir mise dans le verre d'eau que la voilà déjà au fond du verre d'eau. 💦🌞🌱😜 08/15: depuis 24h dans le verre d'eau Hr: 70% T°: 23°C et toujours rien aucun germe, l'effet loupe du vere ma permit de voir que la graine s'ouvrait comme un moule, le germe devrait pas tarder à sortir. normalement d'ici 24h le germe devrait être apparent. normalement je met +/- 5 jours pour faire germer une graine! j'hésite encore quand à l'utilisation du waterfarmer car je doit tamponé les billes d'argiles aisi que que le rockwool chose que je n'avais pas anticipé, pour le rockwool ça semble plutôt simple: trempé 24 h dans une solution ayant un ph entre 5.5 et 6 pendant +/-48 heureus (merde j'ai oublié d'ajouter du root juice et du canna start à ma solution). Pour les billes d'argilles ça deviend plus compliqué faut les nettoyer et les tamponer meme celle de chez plagron (je suis très étoner qu'ils n'aient pas tamponés eux même leurs billes destinés à de l'hydroponique. en faisant deux trois recherche j'ai trouver des billes déjà nétoyer ayant un ph bas mais pas précisé sois disant près à l'emplois. on verra ça demain à l'arrivé du colis. dans tous les cas si je n'utilise pas le waterfarmer, j'utilserai un pot en geo-textile de 15L (lightmix/coco/perlite/humusLombric/guano/trichodermas) 3 portions de lightmix pour une de coco et d'humus, le reste lire la notice :D 23:03: je vois le radicule sortir fébrilement grâce au verre "nutela" 😂 qui ont un fond qui à un effet loupe , le waterfarmer sera pour le prochain plant :(, lesson a retenir, se documenter avant de faire quoique soit! 08/16: la graine à germer 💚 et la graine s'entre-ouvrait je voyais le vert/blanc des cotelydons dans l'ouverture. Je l'ai directement planter dans sont pot de 15L. 08/17: no news. Patience les amis 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🌞 08/19: la voilà qui arrive fébrilement ✌️. D'ici ce soir elle devrait être droite ou presque :)#1
