11/15 - Day 43 - I've changed the light schedule on the timer from 20/4 to 18/6. I will be heading out of town for 10 days on December 25th and so I'll need to harvest and hang to dry by the 24th at the latest. I've read in a few forums that decreasing the lights on/lights off ratio can speed flower maturation on auto-flowers. The other growers also mentioned that the decrease in light also reduces yields, but on such a tight timeline I'd trade total yield for more fully ripened buds any day of the week. Would certainly be interested if anybody has experience/knowledge that contradicts what I've read. Plants stretched another 2 inches in the last 24 hours putting them 22 inches from the light. I still have room to raise my light another 2 inches, but if these girls stretch more than 6 more inches they'll be < 18 inches from the light which I'm assuming would cause light burn based on the research i've done on this 600W ViparSpectra reflector series. Here's hoping they don't stretch more than 6 inches from here. 11/17 Day 45 - Haircut day. Left a few fan leaves on the shorter/lower shoots, but took almost everything else. Tallest tops had stretched another 4 inches in the past 48 hours, and were 18 inches from the light. I raised the light the final 2 inches I had available, which places it back to 20 inches from the tallest bud sites. Hopefully the haircut I gave the plants slows down the stretch, but either way it looks like I'll have to do a lot of retraining before I head out of town tomorrow for 5 days. 11/18 Day 46 - Fed nutes. Cal mag + advanced nutrients (micro, grow, bloom), and MKP. 4 Litres of water per plant. A lot of runoff in the saucers, but I'm out of town for the next 5 days so I'm leaving it to be absorbed throughout the week.

Hey bin mal gespannt obwohl ich nicht all zu viel erwarte der Wuchs bis jetz hält sich in Grenzen aber ich denke durch den Kleinen Topf ist das Wuchs Wachstum stark eingeschränkt Aber mal sehen ich lass mich überraschen 😂

Buongiorno a tutti Oggi è il primo giorno della 3 settimana e siccome sono un principiante e questa è la mia prima coltivazione non so se le piante sono sane e ricevono il giusto nutrimento. Sto usando bio-grow e bio-heaven per la fase vegetativa e da ieri ho iniziato mettere 0,5ml di vitasol bionova nel substrato di Strawberry Gorilla perché la pianta mi sembra un po’ indietro. Secondo voi gli esperti come stanno le piante dalle foto ? Sarei grato se poteste aiutarmi a migliorare. Grazie a tutti e alla prossima settimana 😉

One week more. The two ladies have developed quite well in the last week and I have now defoliated them again. I think the yellow leaf tips are due to low humidity. The morello cherries auto in the soil also had a bit of bad news for me. There was a small bag of bananas, which I have removed for now and will continue to observe whether new ones appear. With a new cultivar, I can well imagine that it will be even more stable. Otherwise, the morello Cherrie flowers very fast and l'm a little surprised at the low stretch.

Still only giving them water at ph6. 5 The soil I started them in is a full strength soil. House and garden bat special 🦇💪👍 Some people say I shouldn't plant seeds direct into full strength soil, I've been doing it for 20 years and never had any issues . Each to there own I say 👍

Day 49) 11/11 first week of flower has gone and still no pistils but I have no reason to think there won't; in due time. All waterings this week were 1/2 tsp of each nutrient per gallon of dechlorinated tap water ph’d between 5.5 - 6.5 and watered once a day and she just thrived on everything I gave her. OH! I almost for forgot my local hydroponic store gave me a sample of a beneficial bacteria conditioner called FishSh!t There are lots of diaries using this Sh!t and you can find them under the nutrient tab and search Fish Head Farms. They have a website with info and dosing and today was first day using so will update if I notice a substantial change. Dosing called for 1 ml per gallon of water mixed in with all other nutrients during bloom phase. I'm not really in bloom phase just yet but going light on the Sh!t till I test the effects. Happy Growing and Happy Harvesting

Week 3 of flowering is in the books for the Auto Gelato girl from Fast Buds Genetics <3 ... this week I did some minor cleanup with dying leaves, and the lower branches that were being blocked out by the top colas. This girl has recovered exceptionally well after being supercropped the previous week, so excited to see how she'll continue to grow and stack up in the coming weeks! Considering I snapped the stalk while cropping, I was really surprised to see just how well the wound healed up over the week. These plants are awesome! Anyway, be sure to check back next week for more updates! Happy growing 💪

Days 42 through 49 of flower and all three Phenos are expressing themselves differently. Pheno #1 continues to express darkened fan leaves almost purple and much more frosty than her sisters. Pheno #2 is the other end of the spectrum remaining green, but less frost. Pheno #3 seems to be a mix of the other two and its fan leaves are turning colors of autumn. Those are my visual observations as we head into week 8 of flower with harvest just around the corner. No nutrients or grow techniques used during week 7 flower. Other than a watering to saturation on day 42, I really haven't done anything other than observing and maintaining health of plant. For me, that involves tracking VPD to ensure optimal plant performance. Able to track VPD with recent upgrade to the AC Infinity Cloudline Pro fan system. The integrated environmental controls managed on my smart phone has been a game changer. So, happy that I made the upgrade. Thanks again for stopping by and checking out the diary.

NY Diesel Auto Feminised is an auto-flowering version of the celebrated New York City Diesel. It is mostly indica while also displaying some sativa-like cerebral effects to accompany the deep relaxation that it provides. NY Diesel Auto grows to a height of 60 – 100 cm. tall and develops plenty of side-branches that produce nice, dense buds. Growers can harvest yields of yields of around 600 gr/m2 in just 60 - 70 days from germination. This strain can also be grown successfully outdoors due to the hardy ruderalis genetics. The scent is very dank with notes of diesel fuel. THC production is in the region of 14 – 16% while CBD levels are around 2%. The overall effect has an initial cerebral quality leading into bodily relaxation and a sense of wellbeing while not being physically incapacitating 10/5 Dropped two NY Diesel Auto seeds into a shotglass of room temp spring water. Placed the shotglass in a dark warm cupboard. I will be preparing the medium today as well. The plan is 24 hours in the shotglass, 24 hours in a wet paper towel, then straight into 3gal fabric pots that have already been cooking for 2 days. They'll go under 18/6 with RH at 60% to 70%. 10/6 One seed has a tiny tap root and is still floating in the glass. The other seed fell to the bottom but has no taproot. Letting them stay in the shotglass another 12 hours. 10/7 Diesel #2 Half inch tap root and she sank to the bottom of the shotglass finally. I wet the coco-perl with PH 6.35 room temp water with Fish Sh!t in it. Let's grow Diesel #3 without Fish Sh!t for comparison. Diesel #3 She has a miniscule taproot and it's black. Could just be film from the seed case where it cracked. I put her in a damp paper towel and stuck her in the dish washer. We'll check back in 12 hours. 12 hours later, no change. Then I realized I forgot to put it in a zip lock. The paper towel was still wet tho. Put it in a zip lock, will check in the morning. 10/8 We have a taproot on NY Diesel #3. Put some Azos in the drop site and sowed the seed. Half a shot glass of water to seal it in. 18/6, 67% RH, 80°f

Começamos na semana 5, não tenho registos das semanas anteriores, espero quer gostem deste diário em português. A Planta do meio é a NLA e as em volta as GGA. Atualização com fotos todos os Sábados. Resumo DIario: - Dia 37 - 04/10 : Misturei 50g de guano de morcego (1-15-1) na superfície de cada vaso, reguei cada um deles com 1.5L de agua com Ph ajustado em 6.3, o desenvolvimento está bom, sem nada mais a apontar. - Dia 38 - 05/10 : Notei um aumento significativo na intensidade do cheiro, estão a crescer bastante bem, não apresentam nenhum problema de nutrição, a NLA, naturalmente, está com a floração mais atrasada. - Dia 39 - 6/10 : Fiz mais uma rega de 1.5L em cada vaso, o solo estava seco, como já havia fertilizado o solo á 2 dia com guano de morcego, coloquei apenas 3ml/L de CANNA Terra Flores e ajustei o Ph para 6.3. Elas estão a exigir muita agua, é bom sinal. - Dia 40 - 7/10 : As meninas deram uma boa secada no solo, a intensidade do cheiro está realmente mais forte, estão a florir bem. - Dia 41 - 8/10 : A terra estava praticamente seca, reparei que uma das GGA está a apresentar a ponta das folhas amarelada/queimada, principalmente nas folhas inferiores, poderá ser possível carência de Nitrogénio, pois é um nutriente móvel que a planta pode levar para as folhas superiores na falta do mesmo, adicionei 2ml/L de CANNA Terra Vega, que é um nutriente baseado em Nitrogénio e Ferro, á solução habitual, ajustei o Ph para 6.3 e reguei cada vaso com 1.5L, vou deixar a terra secar bem em 3/4 dias e acompanhar como reagem.
