This week the plant gets swapped to bloom nutes but no until the end of the week so the next week will reflect that set of nutrients. Sunday Res testing at 320ppm, 5.8 PH. Growth is looking great, with more tops forming near top node as plant is forced down. All new growth is deep green. The lower leaves are still spotted but have not progress nearly as much as they have been recently. Adjusted PH to 6.0 to help with calcium uptake. Monday Res ppm 320, 6.1 PH. Plants new growth is healthy. LST'd top node so newer lower nodes can catch up for a day or two. Plant is starting to smell. Will let it the plant correct itself, then perform res change by the end of the week, to swap to bloom. Tuesday Res: 320ppm 6.1 PH. Lower nodes have filled in more, top node has mostly corrected itself. Calcium deficiency has slowed greatly but still present want to give another day or two of recovery from lst then will do the res change. Removed lowest leaves. Wednesday Res: 320ppm 6.1 PH Plant growth is excellent. Largest leaf is slowly showing more calcium deficiency. Flushed and swapped to bloom, orca, silica, cal-mag. 450 ppm 6.2. moved leaves around and rearranged so lower nodes get more light. Thursday Res: 420 6.3 adjusted to 6.2. Plant and root growth are looking great. Friday Res: 420ppm 6.18 ph, adjusted to 6.25. Plant and roots are blowing up with some stretching beginning. Smell is intensifying but still no pistils, yet. Saturday Res: 470ppm 6.3 ph. She's filling out really well. Daily photos show just how quick everything happens.

5/14 Watered today. I almost held off as it seemed there was a LITTLE moisture in the soil of the gmos. The bigger one was drier. I weighed dry soil and compared that's when I decided to water. Seeing how today is I think the fourth day since I watered I used less water. Since I' not feeding nutes yet (plenty in the soil) I'm not watering to runoff. 2 Gatorade bottles total this time. I want those roots filling the pot. I have burns on the event horizons. I think it was from the light leak. The toasted toffy seems exploding. I hope they don't get to rootbound in the 1 gallon. I think it was a good decision for the 1 gallon rather than the 3s. 5/15 Yeah they definitely liked that water. Especially the event horizons. Old burns don't heal but the are coming out of reveg and growing with a fury! The gmos are as healthy as I coupd ask. I almost topped the last gmo one (or fimmed) but it was trained before I got it and bottom branches are level with the top. The gmo I fimmed has at least four new tops growing fast. I think I'll pick up my soil tomorrow. Grow bags are ready but I need to clean up the cage and wait until the time I'd right. If I had the time I would've brought the girls outside today 5/16 Plants look amazing. It got to 80 yea6erday but the girls were inbthat nice cool room. It's getting close to the time I'm going outside and I'm getting excited! 5/17 Same. Plants still going like crazy souls still moist. 5/18 wow these l.e.d lights don't dry out the soil like an hps. Watered on the 14th and plants still look like they're happy and there is still moisture in the soil. I'll monitor and either water later today or more likely in the morning. There wasn't much if any moisture in the soil and that was only a couple plants. I WATERED TODAY AND USED APPROXIMATELY 2 AND a 1/2 GATORADE BOTTLES TOTAL. I went with my intuition and it told me they were thirsty. They were certainly light. At least I don't have to worry about overwatering. I'll grab my soil tomm and clean my grow bags. These clones are exploding in growth and leaf production. I can't wait to see how they do outside. 5/19 Seedlings are jumping right along and need transplant. I'm almost positive they are autos so I shouod plan to transplant just once. I'm planning to buy my soil tomorrow and get other odds and ends taken care of. The girls are doing great! They def enjoyed the water. Im glad I went with my intuition. Some pics wouldn't upload. Oh well. 5/20 Today is supposwd to be in the 80s. Plants AND seedlings are doing great. I think I'll grab my soil today. I'll update later. UPDATE: I BOUGHT 3 3CF 707 3 3CU FFOF AND 3 2CF HAPPY FR0G AND I HAVE A BAG OF 707 AT HOME. CAGE IS ALMOST READY. BAGS NEED TO BE SOAKED AND CLEANED AND PLANTS NEED TO START GETTING HARDENED OFF. ITS HARD TO DO ALL THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF MOVING WITH A SICK WIFE BUT WE DO WHAT WE HAVE TO.

Excited to see some growth! Had clean paper towels, a dark dvd case, a nail file and tweezers. The file was just to break the outer shell a little so they suck up water faster. I'm curious if it works!

Week 3 Blossom Ballet: Cherry Cola's Floral Extravaganza Unleashed Greetings, fellow green enthusiasts! We've hit Week 3 in the enchanting flower journey of our beloved Cherry Cola Auto, and let me tell you, the botanical ballet within the tent is reaching an unprecedented crescendo. Our green queen is unleashing a floral extravaganza that's nothing short of spectacular. As we dive into the heart of Week 3, the tent is transformed into a vibrant canvas of blooming beauty. The once-lush bush has metamorphosed into a floral symphony, each bud site a note in a melodious composition. The topping technique deployed earlier is now revealing its full glory, with multiple colas reaching for the spotlight. The decision to release our Cherry Cola from training supports continues to pay dividends. She's embracing her freedom with a wild elegance, and the tent is now an immersive experience of green abundance. The bushy ballet is a testament to the success of our horticultural endeavors, creating a living masterpiece. The topping triumph from the previous weeks echoes in every corner of the tent. The colas have matured into regal structures, each vying for attention in this botanical drama. The decision to venture into topping during the vegetative phase has proven to be a stroke of genius, enhancing both yield potential and structural beauty. Ah, a crucial note in our nutrient symphony! I introduced Potassium (K) to our water mix, adding another layer of vitality to our Cherry Cola's performance. P-Boost's phosphorus prowess, coupled with Topbooster's organic grace, dances in harmony with the added Potassium, contributing to the formation of hefty buds and enhancing the overall flowering response. Visual euphoria reigns supreme as our Cherry Cola daily unfurls new growth, showcasing the sheer energy and vitality she possesses. It's not just a plant; it's a living canvas of horticultural artistry that leaves me in perpetual awe. As we wrap up Week 3, Cherry Cola Auto stands as a living testament to the joy and wonder of cultivation. The floral odyssey is far from over, and the tent is a stage for a botanical performance that promises to linger in our memories. Stay tuned, fellow enthusiasts, as the Cherry Cola Chronicles continue to unfold! Genetics Cherry Cola Auto @Fast_Buds @fastbuds_genetics_official @fastbuds_official @fastbuds_espana 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

Most important to note from this week: Even a small dose of cal mag to plants 3 and 6 slightly stunted growth. There seems to be a lot of nutrients in this soil which might be why the added cal mag slowed growth and showed very dark leaves (too much nitrogen from the cal mag). I am using RO water so thought that cal mag would help but didn't. PH in correct range along with recharge and silica really calls for no nuts in this soil! Transplanted to 1 gallon pot with Ocean Forest soil on days 16 and 17. Still only using recharge and silica w/ no extra nutrients. I did add 2ml of cal mag to the plant with light spotting which seemed to help slightly by day 20. All ph ranges are right at about 6.5. I found that watering at 6.7 with a low ppm water brings me to a good ph range for this soil. No signs of deficiency so no extra nutrients for now. Average relative humidity slightly lowered to 60%. I'm paying attention to light distance and power closely to keep ppfm in 300-400 range. 2 plants did not make it. I believe due to overwatering. 5 white widows left I performed LST on Day 21. Plants are short and bushy so I felt no need to top. LST combined with scrog is the plan.

I got a smart plug for my humidifier and modded the button with an Arduino so that it turns on automatically when powered. Now I have events in my home Assistant on raspberry pi which will keep the VPD within a specified range. Every since then, the plants have been SO much happier and I have piece of mind now. I'm hoping these plants can pull through the stress, but I planted 4 more bag seeds just in case, they will sprout soon. I did some LST because why not. Accidentally broke a stem but I squeezed it together so now I have to pray.

Trying to learn what plants I like to grow the most. This run is a test of each strain I ordered from seedsman. Blueberry is a clone from a seed, As I only had one of these seeds I didnt want to risk flowering it and losing a good pheno, So instead I grew that seed and cloned off of it. Maui Waui is from seed, and looks pretty wonky here, it got a bit out of hand during veg as I didn't have a screen in there. The seed has been vigourous though and I have high hopes for it being the only pure sativa in the bunch, Cheese is a clone taken from my last grow. I cloned it off the seeded plant before they went into flower. My last run with cheese went well with dense buds and good potency. Buttercream gelato is from a seed and has pretty interesting growth. It has been hard to keep nitrogen up in it and pales to lime much quicker than the other plants around it. Buttercream and Maui waui have been vegging for 2 months. Blueberry and chees have been vegging for 6 weeks

This strain was easy to grow. I started out without an hygrometer. Due to delivery problems i had it very late and my girl noticed that becauce the envirement wasnt optimal for her. She did survive that period, after that she got defoliated multiple times, and i got really rough with her sometimes and broke of some stems, and that was no problem for her. I also had an encouter with thousands of thrips, which i had to nuke to remove them from my girl and she didnt even bother. In veg she was a good to handle, in flower it was a little bit harder and i think she likes alot more PK at the end of her lifetime than i offered her. But thats more of a guess. The smell matches more a cross between blueberry and lemon kush in my opinion. The gelato part is not so noticable at the end of the road.(for me atleast) But the blue in other hand is very dominant and strong by smell and taste. I ended up with hardrock buds even the smaller ones, so im very happy with the outcome. Because of my thrips invasion and usage of bioquant, i wanted to wash my buds for once to clean of all the dirt, dust, insect remains and other particles that shouldnt be in my bud. I did the oh so underrated BUDWASH, and wauw if would deffinatly recommend it to every grower with just a few plants. It really cleans your buds without effecting your potency, terps and overall buds. I also noticed that all buds dried at the same rate cause of the evenly spead moisture i guess. I ended up with 48.34 grams of hard and dry buds I took about 10 grams and turned it into superdelicious rosin because i also love to dab 😍 Thank you growdiaries for this amazing platform. I wanne give a big thumbs up to Barney's Farm for this strain, Keep up the good work. Also a big thumbs up and thanks to all the growers and bud lover for looking @ my diary and especially if you liked it, i appreciate it very much. It was a great journey and experience for me. Thanks again and till next time. And dont forget, Always Keep On Growing my friends, Peace. 😎✌️🏾
