Finally finished my first grow. I've learned a lot, and look forward to learning more. Main mistakes made: -not enough drainage early on -misreading leaf colour change thinking it was a deficiency, but it was normal Stay tuned for round two in coco and one outdoor0000

Another good week. Watered them twice. I'm not planning on feeding them again. A little defoliation. I definitely think they are in the last 2 weeks before harvest. Still seeing some nutrient burn developing on the leaves. I don't think I watered enough through the whole grow! I'd love to hear opinions on this! Took some videos of the buds with an iPhone 12 at 6X magnification. Decent quality! Otherwise, still looking to successfully harvest these plants! Thinking about the next grow. Probably going to be Auto Strawberry Cheesecake and Auto Anesthesia. Peace!

These cali genetics are blowing my mind 🤯 super sticky, very frosty rock dence buds with extra strong smells. All 3 strains are 10 out of 10, very impressed. Done last defoliation few days ago, preparing for the harvest so it's much easier. Stalks are super fat, same as buds. Got big surprise from Atami, plant food, and many extras. Crazy. Thanks a lot guys. 💚 Start adding you Bloombastic food already. They love it. Smell is mad. I think most of plants ready in week or so.

Last week of flower. Flushing plants this week with 150 to 200ml water ph 7.0 to 8.0each day Day 76 plants are pretty much ready for harvest. Buds have fattened up a abit. Day 77. Alot more orange hairs. Buds fattening up still by a little. Plenty of milky trichomes. Harder to spot orange trichomes but can see them.

Doubled the nutes and the plant grew 8" in a week span and its not in flower. I may have to transplant to 20 gallons next week if it is measured around 40". I did a lot of defoliating to get rid of some huge fan leaves covering up bud sites and I also trained a lot. She is very wide and almost 3ft tall with a lot of pulling down, I'm very pleased

Welcome Back!💚 Nach der vierten Woche entwickelt sich die Peach Frosting im Vergleich zu den anderen Pflanzen etwas langsamer, wobei ich die abzeichnunh der Seitentriebe sehr schön finde. Die Pflanze wurde letzte Woche noch getoppt und entwickelt aktuell ein homogener aussehendes Wuchsbild. Ich lasse sie jedoch noch etwas im Wachstum, da sie ruhig nochmal an höhe und Breite gewinnen darf. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind weiterhin optimal: ————— 🌞 Temp: 24°C bis 26°C 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 68% VPD: 0,7 kPa👍 ————— Grüne Grüße 🥦

Welcome to Week 6, Day 42 for the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Autoflowering grow. All four of these lovely ladies are now fully into flower and the tent has filled up considerably. Even though this grow cycle is not going to produce the XL plants I was originally hoping for, this strain seems to have a lot of bud sites compared to other autos I have grown previously. Had these plants reached their full potential- I truly believe that this could/would have been a massive harvest. I fertilized them again in Week 6 with their final dose of a Grow based formula at 2 mls/gallon. They will be switched over a Bloom based fertilizer in Week 7 at a rate of 2.5 mls/gallon. I am still watering every 4th day and all four plants are receiving 3 litres each or 0.75 of a litre per plant per day. There is something killing off the foliage from the bottom up on the plant in the front of the tent on the left hand side. Not sure what the problem is so I am simply removing the dead/dying foliage as needed and hoping that she’ll have enough leaves to make it through to harvest. Mom’s Tip for Week #6- When it comes to Fertilizer- $Less$ = More… For me, successfully growing Cannabis indoors means trying to mimic what nature normally provides for free. Sun, fresh air, water and nutrient rich soil are all essential for healthy, happy plants. At some point during the grow (usually 4-6 weeks in) the plant has used up all of the nutrients originally present in the soil thus requiring the grower to have to supplement with some type of fertilizer. I see many growers photographing and showing off their huge displays of colourful bottles and I gasp when I read their long lists of 10-15 different fertilizers and supplements being added to every single batch of water. Not only is this unbelievably expensive and overwhelming but time consuming and completely unnecessary for a successful grow. For those seeking an Organic path there are options such as homemade compost tea or powdered formulas consisting of bat guano, glacial rock dust, bone meal, alfalfa meal, etc. I often use a Canadian made brand called “Gaia Green Organics", mixed in at the start to create my own super soil thus carrying the plants through their first 4-6 weeks of life needing nothing more than PH’d water. The organic fertilizers are usually more expensive and often have a slower uptake by the plants themselves as they tend to feed the soil first which in turn feeds the plants. For novice/newbie growers and those with fast flowering strains such as Autos- a non organic, liquid, water soluble fertilizer is often the way to go. They are generally cheap, easy to use and quickly taken up by the plants when they need it most. My ride or die brand is "Flora Nova” by General Hydroponics and it comes in a 1 part nutrient grow and bloom formula catering to my plants’ needs from start to finish. This company has many options available including all kinds of additional supplements to be used in conjunction with their standard grow/bloom formulas but I’ve never found these products all that necessary or beneficial. Using them in the past has led to over fertilization resulting in burnt foliage, stunted bud development and harsh flavours when smoking/vaping the final product. Not only does $Less is More$ apply to how many fertilizers you are giving your plants but it also applies to how much. Most photosensitive strains can easily tolerate a full dose (as per the manufacturer’s recommendations) and thrive with being fed every time you water. But Autoflowers and some smaller photosensitive strains seem to respond differently to a slight tweak- keeping in mind that if you start small, you can always add more but if you start big, you can’t take back what’s already been given. I will generally only fertilize at half of what the manufacturer recommends for a photosensitive strain- every other or every second watering. Starting out at a quarter dose for the initial feeding which can sometimes be as low as 1.25 mls per gallon and working my way up from there. It doesn’t seem like much but within hours I can see my plants responding positively with increased/sustained turgor, greening up a little and increased resin production which equals "smell/scent". For me, I can smell when I’ve just fertilized my plants- it’s a stronger smell than the normal scent that they give off with a plain watering. If you’re lucky, you’ll end up growing a greedy Autoflowering strain that seems to want more than what you’re giving it. Rather than increasing to a higher dose in a single feeding, try feeding more often at the same dose- so if you’re feeding every other or every second watering, try feeding every watering at the same dose (trying not to increase above half of the manufacturer’s recommendation for the photo strains). Occasionally I will increase beyond the halfway dose to accommodate for the plants’ needs in late flower as most fertilizer companies list an increase to adequately feed during late flower anyhow. I guess the main message for this week is to keep it simple as nature intended. Learn to read your plants and supplement the small amount of nutrients that your plants don’t already have in the high quality soil you initially provided. Cannabis cultivation can be overwhelming at first but the $Less is More$ approach will save you time, money and the realization that you’ve accidentally fried your plants!

Week 3 has arrived and training has started. Still feeding off the slow release amendments and watered when the pot is light. Fimmed 3 mains, but one naturally had 2 tops already. Top count will remain at 8 as I only have 3 more weeks of vegging before she has to be flipped. She got her weekly dose of Recharge at 1tbsp per gallon. Light was raised to 26 inches due to signs of stress in the leaves.

Week 3 18 October 2023 Heya🤙👍🤙🌱 In the world of auto-flowering cannabis, we witness a remarkable life cycle. These seeds are extraordinary, for they are equipped with a unique genetic trait. Their life span is notably short, ranging from a mere 10 to 16 weeks. From the moment these seeds sprout, they embark on a rapid journey of growth, blooming into vibrant plants, and producing precious flowers in an astonishingly short time. Nature's efficiency at its finest, all within the confines of a small and self-contained world. Thanks for reading!!🤙👍🤙🌱

Bueno, aquí están estas candy caramelo de Zambezaseeds, la verdad que esta genética me está gustando tienen bastante densidad y son algo chatas , los nudos están muy juntos y eso me gusta porque el cogollo compacta más a mi parecer. Sigo regulando las condiciones del ph en cada riego en 6,2 y actualmente no supera el 50% de humedad ni sube de 26 grados. Estando a finales de mayo not bad por las condiciones climáticas pensé que sería algo más complicado 🤷‍♂️. Gracias a Mars hydro y a Zambezaseeds por hacer posible estos proyectos. .

Still stacking up grapefruit is not as impressive as gorilla glue and strawberry pie. One of my Vivusun 315 watt CMH ballasts stopped working after only a month’s use. I’m trying to get a replacement but the company is making me jump hoops for warranty. I have had a Topolite 630w CMH for three years and it’s still working great. I cut lights down to 12/12 to see if grapefruit will start to stack up. The smell is definitely getting stronger with the sticky strawberry pie being the strongest.

Hey people! I hope everyone is doing well! 👋 Here's the 15th week of my babies or the 4th of flower. All of them have been developing some really nice buds and trichomes keep appearing or getting bitter (or that's what it seems from all the photos I've taken!) 😃 This week I started giving my babies more potassium and phosphorus! I hope those products will help to get even bigger buds! At first tho I was a little worried because I thought I could end overfeeding and then nutrient locking my babies (the ppm of the water after I used all my nutrients was at 1400 and the vendor says I should be safe as long as I'm bellow 2200 ppm, which I was) from all the NP I would be giving them (which would've been awful) but everything went well! Leaves look healthy (a little more yellow, but I suppose that's normal!) 😍 My only problem this week has been Falco's chlorosis... it has also gotten worse (you'll see in the photos) 😢 and I decided to cut some of them to see if that helps (I assume those leaves are making her waste energies). Hopefully she'll be fine! I also made a small mistake in the week. For a second I thought one of my plants turned herm because she had developed a "sack". I later found out I was wrong and it was only a swollen calyx which made me relax a lot haha (I'm still such a noob 😱😂)... and that's all what happened this week. It was quite calm I believe! Right now I'm debating if I should remove all the small flowers/leaves at the bottom of the plant or just let them be (I don't want to over stress my babies x_x). I don't want them wasting energies in flowers that won't be as good as the others! Maybe I'll make a grow question out of this. Thanks all for reading! I hope you all like the photos I took with my DSLR and the timelapses! 😊
