May I introduce to you Gloria, Gudrun and Olga. OG Kush plants that somehow give me an headache. Gudrun is a dwarf. I don’t like her. Gloria… well pretty much the day she arrived, I broke the stem in half, noticed it and gently put it back on top of the other half and put some soil around it… so because she survived that I really love her. And last but not least Olga. OmG Kush Bush Olga. Enough said.

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

🇩🇪 23.-25.10. der grow läuft gut diese Seite hier läuft behindert über eine Woche könnte ich nichts updaten.(alles geht jede Seite etc. nur das updaten des diaries nicht.) deswegen auch kein Bock das jetzt alles nachzutragen. Fuck you verantwortlicher dafür das diese Seite läuft wie sie läuft und genauso den Server Betreiber!!! Update das ganze mal so das es auch funktioniert. Ich hab die letzten Wochen so oft lessen dürfen. Ooops something Broke! Wollt ihr größer werden muss das laufen sonst kann man niemanden überzeugen diese Seite zu nutzen. Weil es einfach keinen Spaß macht. 22.10. - das autopotsystem ist wieder eingeschaltet die schalen unter den Töpfen waren wieder leer. Die Töpfe haben zwar noch gut Gewicht gehabt aber da sie inzwischen immer schneller wachsen hab ich entscheiden es jetzt eingeschaltet zu lassen. Im Tank der EC ist 1,3 und pH 5,8 (für den Fall das es mit der Zeit leicht nach oben geht) Ansonsten hab ich die Triebe da wo es ging unter den Blättern hervorgeholt und die Blätter darunter geklemmt. 21.10. - die Pflanzen fangen an Gas zu geben. Die autopot Schalen sind fast leer die Töpfe sind nach wie vor schwer genug so das ich das System vermutlich erst morgen/übermorgen wieder einschalten werde. Sie sollen erstmal das verbrauchen was sie beim ersten einschalten bekommen haben und nicht dauerhaft feucht stehen. 20.10. - die Hälfte der Tank Füllung ist einfach im Topf über Nacht verschwunden am Abend waren nur noch ein paar Liter drin so das gerade so die Pumpe für die Umwälzung unten bedeckt war, dementsprechend den Tank mit 30l neu aufgefüllt. Aber erstmal abgeschaltet die Töpfe sind schwer genug. 19.10. - der Tank ist mit 20l gefüllt. Athena Nährstoffe hinzugefügt in folgender Reihenfolge Balance (10ml), Grow B (26ml), Grow A (26ml), CaMg (8ml), Cleanse (10ml), Canna pH- (7ml). Eingeschaltet und die Schalen sind voll gelaufen hoffentlich danken die Ladys es mir die kommende Woche über. Happy Growing💛🏼 . 🇬🇧 October 23-25: The grow is going well, but this site is a mess. For over a week, I haven't been able to update anything. (Everything else works, every page, etc., except updating the diary.) That's why I don't feel like adding all that now. Fuck you, whoever's responsible for this site running, and the server operator too!!! Update everything so it actually works. I've had to read so many times in the last few weeks. Oops, something's broken! If you want to grow, this has to work, otherwise you can't convince anyone to use this site. Because it's no fun. 10/22 - The Autopot system is back on. The trays under the pots were empty again. The pots still have a good weight, but since they're growing faster and faster, I decided to leave it on for now. The EC in the tank is 1.3 and the pH is 5.8 (in case it rises slightly over time). Otherwise, I've plucked the shoots out from under the leaves where possible and tucked the leaves underneath. 10/21 - The plants are starting to thrive. The Autopot trays are almost empty, and the pots are still heavy enough that I probably won't turn the system on again until tomorrow or the day after. They should use up what they received the first time i turned the System on, and not be left standing in a permanently damp place. 10/20 - Half of the tank's contents simply disappeared into the pot overnight. By evening, only a few liters remained, just enough to cover the circulation pump at the bottom. I refilled the tank with 30 liters accordingly. But I'll turn it off for now; the pots are heavy enough. 10/19 - The tank is filled to 20 liters. I added Athena nutrients in the following order: Balance (10 ml), Grow B (26 ml), Grow A (26 ml), CaMg (8 ml), Cleanse (10 ml), and Canna pH- (7 ml). I turned it on and the trays are full. I hope the ladies will thank me for this over the next week. Happy Growing💛🏼

Hi Potheads, During the course of the week there was a small addition of 3 More CFL LIGHTS through the use of Splitters and sockets thus freeing more outlets, the remaining were programmed to have different schedule that had increasing / peak /decreasing intensities of light sources according time before total blackout, harshly emulating outdoors but with the benefit of keeping thermals , consumption and electronics lifespam at range. VEGGING WEEK TWO: 10 days of 21 vegging remaining if everything goes according to the plan but there is an impending menace that has to go out before putting plants to flower . Plants had a good growth response to the budget light, used soil and non-canon nutrient combos , but in the aspect plague control has been a bit more tedious, and even through im using an agressive product (Aceite de Springhill - Anasac) it does keep them at bay but it doesn't totally eradicate them, seeing a few small flying white dots and some moths when plants are shaken in search of bugs , having really low stretch horizontal plants does make harder to inspect the reverse of the leafs, some of them with clear signs of being chewed , and the bit size is like a hole made with a mechanical pencil and that can react to pesticide toxicity if overdose. This is totally my fault because the reused soil with a lot of organic content is a perfect host for plagues and doing aggresive LST is easing the way to climb or jump towards the plants for any bug. For plant placement inside the tent , u can use week 1, pic 1 for reference. G13 Hashplant : The four specimens are the most affected by plagues persistence, because they have the most vegetal mass and trained branches that vermin can hide. In consequence, it also has received more spray doses of Aceite de Springhill (paraffin oil) and this losing battle contrasts absolutely with their spectacular growth , ramification and thick stems. Santa Bilbo: The four specimens received topping with lst through last week, if there is a net above their cup, its because i already know that when it's stretches, it shows ALL her sativa ascendancy, don't believe in her morphology, preflowering is very messy indeed!. Also, The nutrient deficency didn't had heavy impact on the plants after they were transplanted and received both nutrient & plague control formulas. Eleven Roses: All the plants were healthy but with different vigor, making the desition of the ones that will stay inside according to their reaction to topping. Eleven roses, althrough is declared 100% indica by her crushing effect, it can present phenos with longer internodal distance and flowering stretch , so i reccomend a bit of height control in it's grow stage as well.

Oct 9th - entering week 9 of Flower she has a new vantage point. Protected by 8’ corn crops and a rising mass of land, this Strain has just been moved from between a pair of Garages, and out of Sight from a few teenagers once again. - 1 or 2 more weeks are all thats needed. She gets a good big feed today and we’ll see what the weather brings. - big winds may require some bamboo on her long branches for support tba - fed a solid gallon of food, she is going to finish Strong out here on the edge of the field - Wednesday 12th, I’ll clean-up some of those Fan Leaves… and feed her the last big meal w/ Nutrients. Then its only water n sunshine 11th - fed its last nutrients today… water-only from here on in. Nice Tan coloured pistils are mixing-in with the buds - oct 23rd - 25th is the target for this puppy. Day 73 - 75 of growth

Wow wow wow... Apollo what have you guys made at SweetSeeds... My dear this strain is a monster and a keeper. Do you want regular-sized plants and buds in 8 weeks? No problem! Do you want plants that can handle any condition even as a noob? Check! This beast of a strain is out of this world and I'm over the moon with the results. I can't believe it. Normally I've seen auto's do 30 cms and some buds on top... This is simply alien tech... I think I have never seen any plant grow that fast... This is something to try if you haven't already... Completely amazed... And this is while making all sorts of mistakes: too hot, soil also too hot in nutes and temp, hotspots in tent by lacking fans, less PH buffer. Stuff I learned: - In my climate: at least 20 liter grow pots, maybe bigger. - Add hydro corn, I forgot this - Less bloodmeal and bonemeal - More perma tea since mine is now too old to use, it will rot the earth. - More often more water, in smaller pots - Better ventilation and routing of fresh air. - Light a little higher also during flower. - No training is needed, a little defoliation is enough. Thanks again for visiting and don't forget, these results wouldn't have been possible without my trusty SP-3000, consider to try it and see what this light does! Hug bud -

Lovely body high on this one! Amazing for pain relief! Nice head too, taste and smell 10/10. Little yield but that was probably because of my mess ups throughout the grow. Overall a great strain Only yielded 9gs, was a small plant but no doubt I stressed it along the way so I think it’s more down to my mistakes than the genetics Tastes of grapey diesel, 10/10 🍇 Smells of straight grapes, 10/10 🍇 Appearance, very frosty and great looking bud(could be trimmed better but that’s on me)! 9/10

Really starting to flower everywhere. Was hoping for some more height before flowering started, but now I just need to make sure the baby girl packs on as much flower as possible! Got a new camera so the pictures should be better as well! Let me know what you think…. About the height of the plant and the new camera!!! I think I’m going to get some really nice bud off this plant, but we will see!!! Thanks FastBuds!

Hello. This is the end of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of veg. Got them outside and repotted. They look much happier... Look at the last pictures to see they have grown a few inches in a few days. I put a heat sink in this year. 8 - 5 gallon containers were put under the table and are supposed to trap the heat and release it slowly. You can see the white containers behind the plants under the middle of the table. I'll take them out when it gets warmer at night. The soil is 5 gallons of SunShine Mix #4 ( 70% Moss) and 5 gallons of compost from my household composter. I mixed them together. I surrounded the root ball with the SunShine Mix neutral ph soil, so the root ball doesn't get burnt by the hot soil. The roots will grow into the mixed soil when they are ready. Lots of light in there with the new window film I've installed. Plants have a tangy smell to them. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

Season 2 is officially underway and so excited for this grow. Growing 4 plants, but space is a lil limited. Growing in an 80x80cm so using small pots. 2x 8l and then 1x 5l and 1x 4.7l (if you wanna be exact lol). This time I decided to experiment a bit. I'm testing 2 different soils, both in 8l pots, both Purple Punch Auto by Fastbuds, both in airpots. Their names are Robin and Lily. Also testing fabric bags against airpots. Both in same soil, both in 5l pots, both Wild Dwarf Auto by Bulk Seed Bank (that was the plan but now it's 1 WD and another Purple Punch). Their names are Jess and Cece. For this one, Robin, had the seed in water for about 24 hours then in paper towel. Then, into Living Organics soil.

Day 82. First of two is down. Day 88. Second down. Both will be decent by weight and structure, but smell and taste .... maybe after cure ? ;))) Day 92. First went to jars. Will be hard to keep fingers away ... ;))) Day 98. Both in jars ! 170 g of my very likeable smoke ;) Will update later Happy Growing !!!
