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.

Start of week 8,flowering, looking for amber trickomes,took off a branch at day 52, trickomes,were mostly milky some clear. I want to know the sweet spot for this girl if you know what I mean. I will post other pics of early cut latter. Also I switched to blue spectrum light only, supposedly it gets more UV light and packs on more resin(higher T H C ) ,Not that it needs more, but in the name of science I am willing to put in the extra effort. 🔎😎

Plants are now on the autopilot phase of the grow. The stretch has stopped and the buds have began to fill the branch tips. It's going to be very nice when they fill in.

Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!

Top dressed with some more soil. The top was looking depleted and just want to keep it from completely taking all the nutrients from the soil. Added a mix of power bloom with azomite and glacial rock dust. I watered in with some pure protein dissolved into hot water then added to the water I was using at diluted levels. The second watering they got this week was with molasses. which also does a good job of dropping the ph of my water to the perfect level and a little bit of Epsom salt because I ran out of my cal mag and also want the plant to have plenty of sulfur. Last week the stalks were starting to lean but were all getting good light so I did not mess with them but this week they were sagging just a little too much and i oppted for the plant tie to the top of the tent to keep the buds in the sweet zone of the light and to prevent pockets of an unfavorable environment. Very happy with how the buds are developing. the are not rock hard but dense and the amount of trichomes and weight is surprising when i was lifting the branches. Starting to look like shes slowing down a little but may even go to 9 weeks from the looks of it. i and not going to rush her.

This week I just flushed the plant. I think I could have feed nutes the first day of this week, but I decided to flush from the first day, something to improve next time. I think I should have given the last flush one day before harvest instead of 2 days after, I felt that the coco was a bit too dry and the steam was not as moist as the previous harvest, this would have been great if I was doing 14 days dry, but I'm doing a 30 day dry, so this extra moisture would be great. The last 4 days the lights were turned off, as a consequence, the humidity went up the last 4 days, around 56-58%, I don't think I will do this next time. The total flower period was 72 days, according to Barney's farm it would take 60-65 days, I feel that those values are very accurate, my personal circumstances made me take a bit longer, but I barely saw any amber trichomes at harvest day. DAY 152 - Water PH - 5.83 PPM- 777 Solution Temp - 23 Watering Volume - 4L DAY 153 - Water PH - 5.84 PPM- 783 Solution Temp - 21.6 Watering Volume - 3L DAY 154 - Water PH - 5.84 PPM- 793 Solution Temp - 21.7 Watering Volume - 2L DAY 155 - Water PH - 5.84 PPM- 809 Solution Temp - 22 Watering Volume - 2L DAY 156 - Water PH - 5.80 PPM- 810 Solution Temp - 22.7 Watering Volume - 2.5L DAY 158 - Water PH - 5.91 PPM- 587 Solution Temp - 17 Watering Volume - 3L

11/16: I had to move a bunch of seedlings into the closet and decided to just go ahead and run the lights at 24/0 for these last several days. I've got the lights to within 8 inches on all of the flowering plants and as little as 6 inches on a couple of them😈. It's been cold out, so I've been able to keep my temps nice and low. I also have a 6500k floodlight on in there to "winterize" the environment a little more. 11/18: (bugles sounds) Introducing....The Frost Queen and Princess! I harvested the last two Orange Sherbets today...Wow, just wow!😍 11/20: Today I harvested the last two Wedding Cheesecakes and all three Gorilla Cookies. Kind pressed for time, so I just did a cursory trim before taking some photos and washing them. The Gorilla Cookies are every bit as dense as the Wedding Cheesecakes. The gigantic WC has a few seeds here and there, so if I don't spot any spent nanners on her, I'm gonna assume the pollination was done by the short/bent Strawberry Pie that I deliberately left a few male flowers I spotted on. That would make for some kind of special auto hybrid right there.. Well. that's a wrap on this crop. I'll do harvest reports on each strain as soon as they've cured a little bit, but I can tell you already that I'm gonna love most of them. Aromas are incredible!

They're settling in to the pots nicely and the flower tent is about to be cleared out. Need to do some work around the tent before I can move them should be a week or 2.

Moved the trellis higher to get some light in. Buds seem a little small. I think I flowered it too soon. Looks healthy. Smells sweat and creamy.

hellooo growers,❤️ crazy week last week, from police helicopter flying again around and near my growlocation from diffrent hights but not for 15min but more like 6 hours...That's really abnormal so we will see... and with growing last week was a heavy one because I had my first fungus gnats infestation ,(mystery where they come /came from I think some teleportation lol ) it started really slow but within couple of days it was not a couple but dozens so that was not funny, with some research I came 2the conclusion yellow sticky papers/plates and canna cure was not solving the problem but more running behind the problem.. so that was a mistake.. I read about mites and little nematodes , fascinating stuff, I know very little about them and they where a eye opener on a lot of different ways. love to learn new things.. I think the infestation did some damage in slow grow but I'm not sure because I never grew amnesia auto before and this is my second grow in total so.. but after a couple of days after I released the nematodes and mites i saw i huge diffrent in flying around gnats, and now 11-12 I only saw 2 or 3 in total last 3 days so that's great! the smell is strong already a fine sweet but strong present aroma with a hint of citrus smell, amazing... now and then I close my eyes and focus on the great smell it gives and sometimes with fascination thoughts.. 12- 12 I see already some of the girls are growing very good now so that's great to see I give the lady's all 700ppm from canna call/mag agent 20ml a 15 L or Atami callmag 20ml a 15L Canna A& b 35ml a15L rhizotonic 25ml a15L cannazyme 25ml a 15L BAC sillica power 5ml a 15L canna cure spray every 3the day lights power draw is 150watt of 480w quantom boards and the viparspectra p4000 also 150watt and the rubol Josephine 50 watt farRed cob is always on 50watt stay tuned new updates in progress!

Total life in days: 87 Days flowering: 61 days (8.71 weeks) Days drying: 7 Dry weight: 201.2 grams (7.19 ounces) * for all 4 plants combined One of, if not the most beautiful plant I've grown. Smells great, and looks even better. Can't wait until it cures. Definitely growing this again. Incredibly impressed with Kannabia

Focusing on filling out Scrog this week. Did a good deal of defoliation yesterday to try and eliminate overlapping foliage as well as get light to lower sites. Discovered I haven't been shaking nutes up enough before using so actual nutes amounts before this week are 🤷. Giving the girls a day or two to recover but will likely defoliate a little more at next feeding.
