it's amazing, this growth looks much better than my first attempt, my decision was to put a smaller pot and change the light - the girl really liked it, FastBuds goriilla cookies with a small space manage perfectly:).

We have passed three weeks of flowering. I'm very happy with the results so far and considering we have 5 to 6 weeks to go, these buds have the potential to get huge. Started watering more, 4 liters every two days instead of every 3 days. Also after a full 3 weeks of flowering, we started the flowering amendments, 2 cups of worm castings, 1 cup of bonemeal and a cup of Micro life each. Just put that on top of the soil, watered with the Perma tea, to which I added some woodash, just two tablespoons and stirred. To 12 liters of this I added 60 ml of BAC Organic Flower, 20 mils of BAC Calmag and 12 mils of Top Max. They seemed to love it, they payed me back with enormous bud growth in the last week. Anyone still doubting the power of the SP-3000, look at this grow! This light is spectacular! Thank you @MarsHydroLED, check out their Black Friday deals on www.mars-hydro.com I have been sitting on my hands regarding defoliating. Because we had a full three weeks of flowering, I started some underside leafpicking and pruning the smallest branches with no chance of growing out. I kept it to a minimum and will gradually do more. The smells of orange and related citrus is amazing. It is a mixture of orange peels, lime, kumquat, grapefruit and those lovely little oranges they put in Earl Grey tea. The undertones are of a very dense funk, this is going to be a banger, I can tell already. Thanks for following me, all the likes and comments!! See you on one of our diaries! Hug Bud

I gave her 1/3rd of a cup of Mr B's Green Trees Bloom mix and 1 qtr tspoon of great white and watered it in thoroughly. I hope you have a great New Years celebration I'll be back next Year 😸

Male and female preflowers showed this week. I waited a few extra days just to make sure the balls on the male were indeed balls. I chopped the male but did keep the female and defoliated her and continued LST. I increased the tension on the plant ties, pulling them further to the sides so that the inner plant would be exposed, getting those nodes in the air and light. I removed about 10% of the leaves, started at the bottom then worked up to the upper canopy, only removing fan leaves that were blocking the light to nodes that need it. I began feeding some FF Big Bloom.

Sept 21st - last nite was a 1/2 volume h2o/molasses feed - re-shaped the canopy with LST to bring them all back to one height Sept 22nd - looking Oh So healthy, but I’m Going to check run-off, when she’s fed. I’ve never analyzed run-off before. Tonight (or tomorrow) I will check just to see whats coming out the bottom. Feed volumes are enough that there is a bit of run-off at each big feed. - Green Lite for serving 5L Nutes/water tonight. Plant is consuming the water levels being given. Moisture meter and pot weight confirm the levels can continue to be gently increased ( big feed, small feed, big, small etc ! / target 4 days, 2 days, 4, 2 etc ) - Its working in this 10 gallon pot - big power failure for half of city from huge wind storm. Just entered 3rd hour - as I was getting ready to feed her, all the lights in the south end died. Not my fault… 23rd - power outage was for just over 4hours… they will get a little extra light todAy - fed the plant when the power returned at 1:30 Sept 24th - in 2 weeks this plant will be moved to the 2’ tent, to allow the other 4 photo-periods to go into flower. October 8 she moves into a cozy LED environment. - here it is week 8… and it looks like it needs 5 or 6 more anyway. I like surprises, but this one needs some TLC in the home stretch. hows that? Any comments on an extended Auto-grow, from an Express genome? Humans probably lol 25th - LST applied to even-out and lower the canopy further; all good - Pistiles have begun to turn brown/orange while some are still exploding 27th - last day of the week - 2.5L h2o/molasses for early breakfast - next meal 6L, its time - buds are starting to Fiill-Up, definitely gaining a little Girth, for lack of a better word. (Nice way to start next week)

Week 10 Marvel: Cherry Cola's Pruned Elegance and Floral Splendor Greetings, fellow cultivators! We've reached the remarkable milestone of Week 10 in the Cherry Cola Auto journey, and the tent is a painting of botanical wonders. Week 5 of the flowering stage has unveiled a need for a strategic defoliation, and our green queen has undergone a meticulous pruning process. Let's delve into the details of this transformative week. As we navigate through Week 5 of the flowering stage, the Cherry Cola Auto is a testament to the magic of autoflower cultivation. The buds are evolving, and the tent is permeated with the tantalizing aroma of a promising harvest. The journey thus far has been a delight, and the best is yet to come. In response to the flourishing canopy and to optimize light penetration, a strategic defoliation became imperative. The decision to remove excess foliage was not only about enhancing light exposure to critical bud sites but also promoting better airflow and reducing the risk of potential mold or pest issues. The defoliation process involved removing larger fan leaves, allowing the lower branches to receive their fair share of light. In addition to defoliation, a meticulous bottom cleaning ritual took place. Removing the lower, less productive growth not only redirects energy to more crucial upper buds but also eliminates potential sites for moisture retention and pest harborage. This step is crucial in maintaining a healthy, well-ventilated environment as we approach the final weeks of flowering. The defoliation and bottom cleaning were conducted with surgical precision. It's not just about removing leaves; it's a delicate dance of preserving the plant's natural grace while maximizing its potential. The result is a pruned elegance that showcases the structural beauty of Cherry Cola's budding architecture. Our nutrient regimen, with P-Boost, Topbooster, and the strategic addition of Potassium (K), continues to be the backbone of this flourishing spectacle. The phosphorus boost and organic grace provided by Topbooster, combined with the potassium magic, are orchestrating a symphony of blooming processes that bode well for the upcoming harvest. The TDS reading, now at 550, reflects the balanced nutrient environment, ensuring the plant's nutritional needs are met. Maintaining an ideal pH balance of 6.4 ensures that the nutrients are readily available to the plant. This harmony in pH contributes to optimal nutrient absorption and supports the overall health and vigor of our Cherry Cola Auto. As we prune and nurture, the tent is filled with an aroma extravaganza. Cherry Cola's terpene profile is becoming more pronounced, promising a sensory delight in the final product. The olfactory journey is a precursor to the flavors and effects that await. As Week 10 unfolds, Cherry Cola Auto stands as a pruned prelude to harvest, a testament to the meticulous care and strategic decisions throughout the journey. The mood is set for the final act, and we eagerly anticipate the culmination of this horticultural odyssey. Stay tuned, fellow enthusiasts, as the Cherry Cola Chronicles approach their grand finale! Nutrition: @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_ Love, Care, and Attention: @dogdoctorofficial As always, thank you all for joining me on this journey, for your love, and for it all. My horticultural odyssey would never be the same without you. Your love and support are cherished, and I feel both honored and blessed to have you in my life Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love To you All 💚 💚 💚

The buds look good and smell strong; Mix Two has some monster buds growing. I'm still trying to determine its variety, but I'm leaning towards a Bruce Banner. Looking at the grow overall next week, I will drop the PK13/14 out of the mix, and I'm thinking maybe the week after I start the flush. I've put up a little fly-through video to get a better idea of the grow.

Still trucking along. I had my light turned up a bit high for the first week, I turned them down a few days ago and all the plants seemed to enjoy it. Nothing else to report really.

Its done! Even though I expected a higher yield, I'm happy with my first harvest. It could have gone worse. Got 61 grams of the biggest plant, it took eternities, but the yield is pretty decent for a first grow. Thanks WSE! Next up will be Strawberry kush and Harlequin.

Week 8, Day 51, Day21 bloom, Cosmic Queen has leaf droop from lac of water. She is using more water than the Stomper so I watered 1-1/2 gal to Forum Stomper, almost 2gal to Cosmic Queen PH6.3, 5ml/gal Cal/Mag, 0.5ml/gal Orca. Queen came back up next morning. Day 53 made 4gal Worm Tea; 3tbls Molasses, 2cups Worm castings, 1cup Coffee Chaff, 3bags Green Tea, 5ml/gal Cal/Mag, 10ml/gal Seaweed/Fish extract, 0.5ml/gal Orca, aerated 24hrs. Day54, Bloom24 watered both with worm tea 1-1/2gal to Forum Stomper, 2gal to Cosmic Queen. Added 2nd DIY Co2 bottle and run to both circulation fans.

Everything seems to be going great. The buds are developing nicely and there are no signs that plants are stressed at all. I hope they continue to fatten up over the next few weeks for a good harvest!
