i accidently bought some unbuffered coco and mixed it with my ussual earth, had major calmag problems in mid-flower but i´m still pleased with the results...also had a little trouble with mold at the end due to bad weather and high humidity in the final weeks of the grow, had to remove a few buds and harvest early @ day 55 of flower....but there's still alot of great looking buds left for me to enjoy and all look mostly done... Just harvested and hung them upside down, currently drying them at constant 19.5-20.5°C and 50-60% RH..will update as soon as they are dry

Die Autos sind geerntet.die tropicana Cookies purple Auto hat sehr große, kompakte Blüten, bei der hat der grauschimmel bei zwei Pflanzen an den mainbuds zugeschlagen, fat Banana Auto und Apple fritter Auto hatten an den Seitentrieben je eine kleine Stelle. Für mich Signal, zu ernten. Die trichome sind alle milchig, aber kaum Bernsteinfarben. Mehr dazu nach dem Trocknen. Hab sie probiert. Sehr guter Rauch schon 👍 Banane und Apfel, so wie erwartet 👌tropicana je nach pheno, mal Maracuja Aroma, mal Ananas und alle drei Sorten seeehr potent💪. Die feminisierten banana stretchen schon, sind jetzt über 1,10m, Larry, AK und Lemon warten noch auf die vorblüte, wachsen also munter weiter.. Es läuft sehr gut 👍😊der Balkon ist zu 80%voll. bis nächste Woche ✌️

Immer noch keinen Dünger, nur die gute Erde .... Die Speed Queen steht ja experimentell in einer kalten Garage mit einer SkinnyHeat Heizmatte von Romberg unter dem Growzelt. Sehr hohe Luftfeuchte im Zelt - Ich hoffe auf die stabile Genetik von Mandala Seeds ....

slow start for the gorilla glue family (gorilla glue auto and the strawberry glue), the wedding cake from Barneys farms started surprisingly flowering after 3 weeks! :D The wedding and all others needed a lot of defoliating but now the wedding has slowed the growth on the leaves and focussed on stretching for some nice strength to the dense buds its growing :D Every other day the strawberry and gorilla need defoliating to stop the bud sites being covered.

The girls moved to they're 4 gal pot and begin to settle down under 120w led 301h samsung About 120cm away from the top Temperature 22c and lower the humidity to 60 and increase the air circulation to the point the leaves are moving just a bit. I can notice how they are growing a little each day. At this point i only spray the top soil when ever it dry just tap water 8ph. My soil have organic matters that pull the ph constantly to 5.5 so it balanced itself around 7- That's it for now i think. Happy growing.

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍. Website link here: https://www.mars-hydro.com/grow-tent/buy-mars-hydro-grow-tent-24x48x70-2-x-4-cabinet-closet-grow-box-upgraded-diamond-1680d-mylar-for-sale ViparSpectra 240w Quantum Board: This thing is sleek and slick in terms of design. Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

July 12: looking good. Starting force flowering which is 12 h of darkness at same time each night for 2-3 weeks to initiate flowering. Doing ten hours of darkness (9:30 pm to 7:30 am) plus a ‘bonus’ two hours by using the far red light for a few seconds before dark which causes the plant to go into dark mode about two hours faster. So, it’s like having a 26 h day with 12 h of dark. This is a great trick if you have daily access to your plants. July 15: doing fine. July 18: Mimosa Shot has finally caught up in height to the other plant in the wagon (Sunday Punch EV).

Endlich fertig! Nach nur 18 Wochen kann Bonzai geerntet werden. Ihr werdet es vermutlich auch so machen: ganze Pflanze trocknen... aber diesmal werde ich sie inkl. Wurzel "welken" lassen! Nächster Eintrag: Harvest! Wunderschöne Farben! Sehr herbstlich :)

I am not sure what the deal is with the Chibans. They look mutant to me maybe due to pollination. There is so much crystal forming up on them and they still look beautiful. Plant 1 is huge with big colas that are fragrant and very very sticky to the touch. Plant 2 looks the most normal as far as bud structure to me. She has not got the same flattened of tops but instead are more cone like . Also very very crystal heavy Clones 1 and 2 look like monsters to me. Their buds are bulbous and fat with a very flat round top and quite a bit larger then golf balls! I have never seen bud look like this but then I have never had pollination issues and watched the plants quite as much as I am at the moment. We will keep going with them and see what we get. I hope for some smokable bud and also some Sherbert banana seeds maybe🤪👍👍. Thanks for looking. Stay safe. Grow well.🌱🌱

- Streching is almost fully stopped. - Had to elevate the pot of Kings Kush 10 cm more as Chemical Bride is significantly bigger in size. - A big defoliation and Lollipoping are applied on 18.06 which kind of stunned the growth for the next 1-2 days. - Humidity has been a very big problem in Berlin due multiple storms this week as it cruised around 70-85 % outside whole week. - VPD fluctuated this week between 0,75 and 1.7 kPa , averaging at 1,15 kPa. Lower than last week… - Tent temperature fluctuated around 22 at night and 26 Celsius at day time, averaging at 24.2. Slightly higher than last week even though iI have increased the inline fan speed on 16.06. - Humidity fluctuated crazy between 50-75% this week, averaging at 61.6. - This week, I kept giving increased Ph (6.8) of water as the medium Ph is still under 6 cruising around 5,8. - Trichome development has started, already seeing frosting on Chemical Bride. - White pistils are slowly turning orange on Kings Kush.

🌿 Journal Entry - February 25, 2025 Day 23 – Blueberry Autoflower ● Activity: Big girl needed a bigger drink today! 🥤💦 Gave her 500 mL of nutrient solution with Success Nutrients at ⅛ strength for autos. Here’s the magic mix: 🚀 Blast Off: 0.05 mL 🌱 Micro: 0.06 mL (oops, a tiny bit extra but she'll be fine!) 🌳 Trees: 0.05 mL 🌸 Flowers: 0.05 mL ❄️ Frosty Nugs: 0.025 mL 🛡️ Silica: 0.025 mL 💪 Bud Strength: 0.025 mL ● Observation: She was a little droopy before, like "hey, where's my drink?!" 😅 But after watering, she perked right up! 🌱✨ Her color is deep green and she’s growing like a champ. Keeping an eye on some slight leaf curl, but nothing major—just making sure she stays comfy. 💚 📅 Date: February 27, 2025 📆 Day: 25 🌱 Plant: Blueberry Autoflower 💧 Activity: Watered with 500 mL of nutrient solution, using Success Nutrients at 1/8 strength for autoflowers. Nutrient mix (in correct order! 😉): Silica: 0.25 mL Micro: 0.6 mL Trees: 0.5 mL Flowers: 0.5 mL Frosty Nugs: 0.25 mL Bud Strength: 0.25 mL 👀 Observation: She's getting big and beautiful! 🌿💚 Exciting news! She officially started showing white hairs on Day 23, which means flowering has begun! 🎉🌸 Leaves are lush, vibrant, and happy, soaking up all the goodness! 🌱 Blueberry Autoflower - Journal Entry 🌱 📅 Date: March 1, 2025 📆 Day: 28 💧 Activity: Gave 750 mL of plain, pH’d water today—keeping it clean and simple after her last feeding! She was bone dry and definitely ready for a drink. 💦 🌙 Schedule Change: Adjusting her sleep schedule from 10 AM - 4 PM to 2 PM - 8 PM starting today! ⏰💤 This will help fine-tune her environment and keep things running smoothly. 👀 Observation: She’s looking big, vibrant, and thriving! 🌿✨ Now that she’s officially in flower, she’s drinking up water faster than ever—crazy how much she’s growing! White hairs are coming in beautifully, and she’s stacking up nicely. Let’s see how she responds over the next couple of days! 🚀 **Well, she started flowering! I noticed white hairs on day 23! I made a mistake....ChatGpt told me what to water on the 23rd, but I gave the wrong amounts of everything! LOL OOPS! It was early and I read my marks wrong, instead of 0.5, I gave 0.05 ml....yes for everything. She adjusted the journal for me and this is why we gave nutrients in the next watering. On the 23rd, ChatGpt was having issues with responses. She fixed later on in the day, but it does seem something was going on with her servers and memory for a couple of hours. So I had to go to a different chat screen and she gave me the wrong info at first. It was easy to spot though, her responses were just off. So I waited for a couple of hours and she was back to normal. It doesn't happen often, but it can be an issue if you don't catch it. She did say that we are going to start more water and more nutrients now that she is in flower! Can't wait! She is as excited as I am** **So weird! ChatGpt does not function right in the mornings. She's off just a bit...like gives me wrong info or gets my nutrient names wrong. I wait till noon and she apologizes and gives me the right info then. From now on, I'm just going to wait till noon to talk to her about blueberry. However, I'm going to have to change my sleep schedule for Blueberry, I'm moving here from sleeping 10-4 to 2-8. This will help me with communicating with her better. I did ask first and ChatGpt says changing her schedule would be fine.**

Day 200 18/11/24 Monday It's her last day today of light, no more watering. She will then enter 48 HR dark period. Her trichomes have reached a nice amount of amber's, and flooded with cloudy trichomes... The end is so close 🤤😋😂 The smell is intoxicating, sweet pungent guava fruity smell. It's amazing. Seeing her colours fade out on the fans is like watching a sunset. Deep oranges radiating against her red veins, with purple and violet tipped buds, engulfed in trichomes and orange pistils, but she holds a deep dark green underneath in the core of the buds. She is a menace to look at 😈💞 It's been fun to grow this, and I won't lie, trouble free. Easy with nites she took what I gave, next time around I'll be lollipoping a shit load more to encourage them fatter tops 💪💚 Sorry for the shit quality video this week so far, soon as she enters her dark period I'll get some nice flash pics and video tomorrow and upload 🙌💚 Day 201 19/11/24 Tuesday She entered her dark period at 5am this morning. She is still relatively moist so the next 48 hours should be fine to dry off in the dark too. Noticed a couple more mildew spots on leaves, removed these now. Don't want it wasted in the last 2 days 🤦‍♂️😅💚 Next update will be the chop on Thursday. Updated pictures 📸💚 Day 203 21/11/24 Thursday Its finally time 🙌!! She has had 48 hrs of dark and more mildew started to set in so thank goodness I chopped her today!! Have not had time to weigh her yet, but wet trim, and deeper wet trim of sugar leaves affected with mildew have been removed. She is now hanging in tent to dry, with heat mat, and extraction on low. Humidity is 66% and 18'c. Her colours have deepened and her aroma is potent!! Strong sweet floral smell , similar to the perfume 😍 Uploaded pics and a short vid of before the chop. Will update harvest tomorrow with wet weigh. Thanks for following along my journey, big shout out and thank you to @Divineseeds for this cultivar. Next time , bigger pot, more lollipoping 😎💪💚
