As of day 43 (November 13), the NYC Diesel has stopped stretching and is putting on weight throughout the buds. It is an important time for the plant, as the flowering is going to be critical for quality and yield, but it is also a little boring not having anything to do besides watch, water, and wait. It's doing well with the nutrients so I am upping the phosphorus/potassium it is getting, and I am going to try to slightly lower the cal/mag to help reduce the nitrogen. I am continuing with the Armor Si as an extra potassium boost as well. I try my best not to overfeed, as I find the auto flowers with my lighting setup are sensitive to more agressive feeding schedules. Day 46: did a small defoliation, will probably be the last. Thanks for reading!

Had a great week. These babies are still stretching quite a bit and I see pistils everywhere. The next couple of weeks should show some actual nuggies popping up.

Both plants have almost stopped growing in heigth now and are in full flowering mode now. Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) Plant #1 is 15 cm shorter than plant #2, but a little bushier. Both have grown very well and are strong and healthy. They get more and more flower clusters now and start to fill up all branches. Trichomes start to appear all over...the plants start to get sticky and develop a weak sweet aroma now. Its time to take off the biggest fan leaves now for defoliation, I took a round of pics before and after.

Me olvide de subir estas fotos el fin de semana asi que lo hago ahora! 🙏 Fue la ultima semanita de la BubbaSlush. En una de las fotos pueden observar un cogollo chiquito (lo saque de una rama lateral para secarlo y llevarle a mi hno que vive en otra ciudad). Es increible la cantidad de tricomas que tiene, es la primer planta que tengo con tanta produccion en resina realmente! Totalmente asombrado. P.D: La tuve que fumar porque no me aguante y el pegue que tiene es muy bueno, me deja muy loco pero a su vez me deja entablar una conversacion y mantenerla. Todo esto una flor cortada antes de tiempo y secada, sin curar si quiera.

Week 9! I can hardly wait until Harvest! Buds are looking good getting bigger, a lot of little buds growing in every armpit. I have two camera's in my tent. It's great, you can look at your plants with opening the door for hours. I can take pictures, record, rotate, move it around and motion detection if needed. I can also view my tent on my smart phone anywhere in the world. I fully recommend it. The app is eye cloud, camera's are Yatwin. Out of the two plants Gorilla Glue and White Widow, Gorilla Glue grew faster and bigger.

I transplanted everything over the past 3 or 4 days and am just giving them some time to break in their new shoes before I flip them. I got a new bottle of calmag I think the one I was using was old it's been on the shelf for a while. The heat is still a little lower than I would like and now with the bigger pots humidity has gone way up.

Todo bien, seguimos. Próxima semana se cambia el fotoperiodo, se aplicará una defoliación para evitar posibles plagas

Little late on the upload of the diary. She has made day 56 with no real issues. Minor leaf damage from a few pests. The weather has been mostly sunny with 2 days of rain. Purple hues are starting to show up in the buds!😍

Hey Guys ! 😁 Buds are coming ! We are in the last week of feeding, next week, I will start flushing for about 10 Days before the Harvest. This week was quiet, the plant ate a lot : EC in at 1.8 out at 1.4 > 2 times per days. This week I will increase the EC at 2.0 to finish her. She beginning to smell good and to make tricomes ! There is only one thing : I got 3/4 branches that seems to be less developped than the rest of the plant > Light reflection problem ?? See you soon, keep growing !🕉️

Used royal queen seed fems popped 4 and 3 where successfully. Through veg stage no problems quite sturdy plants growth rate was the same on all round, had abit of nitrogen deficiency. Flower stage everything changed plants started to grow at different weeks and need separate feeds which became annoying, think this was done to pheno types being different. Drying stage: I used this new herb dryer called wedryer for to plants and hung the other in the tent. Wedryer works if you have small yield as can’t fit a lot, drys within a week though but also looses flavour. Have to wet trim bud and then leaves bud flat in one side due to them sitting on the dryer netting. Has fan with carbon filter which stops smells. (But myself prefer hang drying). Used trimbag to finish the buds off love this product and recommend to others to buy.

The two super-cropped plants healed up nicely and have grown more bushier in week 8. The top of the main-stem is showing sidewards now and the buds on it have turned upwards, towards the lights. The two SANlight EVO4-120 are dimmed to 100% and hang 30 cm above the top of the plants at this stage. My genetic gems LOVE the spectrum and intensity of these LED-fixtures and grow like hell under them, its amazing to see. The BIO-NOVA nutrients are still given at half strength from their recommended SOIL-CULTIVATION schedule and the plants have a nice healthy green color. Only the CHEESE-plant from BIG BUDDHA SEEDS starts to show some symptoms of overfeeding (gets rust brown spots and yellow leaf-tips). I will have to keep an eye on this plant. The amount of flower-crowns that are developing now is ASTOUNDING! In the close-up pics of the flower-crowns you can see, that the trichome production has started already! The plants start to smell more now and I can't wait for them to get the fruity aroma I expect.

GENERAL COMMENT. Two different realities are populating my humble growroom, by one side we have a vibrant SKR and the other the NL that was destabilised a wile back. This two girls from RQS have lots of virtues, and shooting up many colas, and harvest is looking promising also with the lock in the NL. RQS NORTHERN LIGHTS AUTO AKA NL - COMMENT. After struggling a lot to curb her deficiencies and spotting, I could rinse off the salt buildup and raise the soil PH, flush, flush, flush little bit of voodoo juice, and only the full organic based nutes made the trick for now, so we are stable, and leaves started to look healthier, spotting stoped but is already in the majority of the leaves. EC is light at 1.1 Stoped taking the runoff since i made the medium treatment, and honestly that got on my nerves now is bulking this colas or die, finito with the over caring thing… One thing to notice is that i have to re do this strain to fully grow it and having a 100% potencial to be able to fully judge, as for now if you do this strain use less of everything, nutes, light, water, less is definitely more with this strain. Smell is the least pungent of the plants i ever done, so if you are looking for a stealth plant this is a good candidate.

Journal de Culture - Dognabis Cup variété : Permanent Marker Semaine 4 - 1ère Semaine de Floraison Date : 11 octobre 2025Observations :Les plantes ont doublé de taille grâce au stretch typique de la phase de floraison. État des plantes : saines et vigoureuses, aucun stress observé cette semaine. Paramètres ajustés :PPFD augmenté à 800 (cible atteinte selon les données). VPD réglé autour de 1,0-1,1 kPa (cible atteinte, valeurs mesurées : 1,06 kPa jour, 1,09 kPa nuit). Température moyenne : 24,4 °C (jour), 22,5 °C (nuit) - cible stable. Humidité moyenne : 65,22 % (jour), 59,98 % (nuit) - ajustée pour maintenir le VPD. CO2 : ~900 PPM (cible atteinte). Solution : pH 5,92, EC 2,20 mS/cm, température 19,7 °C. Notes :Les paramètres ont été optimisés cette semaine avec une augmentation de la lumière (PPFD) et un réglage précis du VPD. Aucune intervention stressante, les plantes répondent bien aux conditions. On garde toujours les même rythme de marré pendant le stretch pour stimuler une croissance végétatif, semaine prochaine je vais commencer a réduire progressivement la durée des marée et augmenter progressivement le temps entre 2 marée pour commencer a stimuler une croissance générative pour la floraison Objectif pour la semaine prochaine :Maintenir les mêmes paramètres : PPFD à 800( on commencera une augmentation progressive a 900) , VPD autour de 1,0-1,1 kPa, température et humidité stables, sans stress supplémentaire. Légère defoliation prévu et petit lollipop 🍭 Merci de votre attention et merci a tous
