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.

Happy it germinated not surprised either. For those of you who haven’t seen my other window grows I’ve had some decent success with autos in the window. Ive yielded over an oz on a small yielding plant. I’ve looked it up the window gives off 50% sunlight plus all the additional lights it does great. It’s somewhat close to my woodstove which is great bc it keeps it dry in flower. I have fans on it as well. Some people hate on grows like this I think they r cool. I transplanted it oct 5th. Let’s hope it thrives which I’m sure it will

Leaves started to be more and more yellow. In fact, I don't know why. The nutrients I keep based on the Plagron table. I have few theories. Lack of Nitrogen, Lack of Calcium, End of the life cycle. Who knows. I will add a bit more nutrients.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de vida de estas Papaya Zoap F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros. Y también superaron el shock por el trasplante se recuperaron 100%. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

what a stretch! They are still reaching! I hope I can breed some compactness and bendability into these girls when I impregnate them with God Bud. For now I'll just give them all they need to make nice buds.

Day 79 (First Grow, Flowering Phase): Hey everyone! It's the start of a new week, and we're now on day 79 of our first grow. The flowering phase is progressing beautifully, with the buds getting bigger and frostier day by day. 🌸✨ We've started to see the formation of orange hairs, which is a promising sign of the buds maturing. The plants are looking healthy and vibrant, and the SCROG net is helping to keep everything well-supported and evenly exposed to light. Humidity issues from last week are still being monitored, and we're considering adding a dehumidifier to ensure optimal conditions as we move closer to harvest. Thanks for all your support and suggestions. Any tips for these final weeks of flowering are always welcome!

Week four! Here are the first signs of flowering. This girl has picked up the pace, growing 20 cm this week. She drank 300 ml three times during the week, for a total of 0.9 l. I halved the nutrient doses (starting this week for flowering), but despite this, the new leaves continue to show signs of nutrient burn. Next week, I will only give her water with controlled pH to fix this problem. There are probably too many nutrients left in the soil, and this beauty is not so hungry. The lamp is now 30 cm away and dimmed to 75%. Ready for week five? Now the fun begins!

12/02/2024 13/02/2024 MS is growing funny 😁 TF has exactly the same feed mls. Shes looked forever hungry 14/02/2024 Lite Defoll. Midday. TF has never looked the healthiest with the first time using HydroSol + H202 water soluble feed. I think i have the ratio/some sroted to where I've seen improvements. First improvements i have seen are: 1. NO Nutritional burn or Lockout! (non-salt based). P.s ignore the over salas 12% HP at the start (no idea what i was thinking). Sometimes being ahead; means i am a being with a head that makes human errors. Oh, the joys of plant-discovery. Sorry side tracked lol 2. Quicker Absorbing witb water soluble food. As long as she's hydrated she's eating! 3. No idea yet Have a ball!! Listening to this relaxing and i started thibking about Spirituality and how its included in all faiths. But if say "Jesus Christ is a façade and all religions are based on astrological events painted with fictional characters to repent the Christological doctrine to "date" the past. 21 Ways Archaeologists Date Ancient Artifacts are mostly flawed because they only have the "present" to date decay from. They miss the mark and the professionals deliberately push the religious artifacts to match up to the hollyword. So who's to say what "Date & Time" we are currently living in! In reality; we can only measure and date time from the the last natural apocalypses or near misses, dor we are the surviours from such events.. Look round at real history! What mordern day academics just brushed under the rug with some made up theories of what they like us to believe happened. Even they are in a Dilemmas (government's) have the knowledge of these such events. SpaceX and Nasa are all doomsday preppers! As for India going to the moon 🌙 seriously 😐 who's buying this stuff? I've let go so much that the whole world is my own intention and floods my brain with endorphins of being the observer. The reason we are all "consciousnesses" and in sudden alert of awareness of this world and being alive is because we are in the end time again! We have all woken up to everything because the omens of the apocalypse alerts and kicks in certain parts of the DNA to force memories to the soul like "hey you need to remember this and get somewhere safe" 17/02/2025 Vast improvements 18/02/2025 Defolled to make way for fast growth

the weather in germany is unfortunately getting very wet and cold early. The Papaya Cookies had to contend with Budrod in the headbud. This was probably also due to the enormous density of the headbud... So we harvested them after a total of 60 days to prevent worse. So far it has been one of our favourites in outdoor growing, visually delicious with its pink pistils. The plant also has an incredibly tropical, delicious smell of mango and papaya - we are already looking forward to the smoke test

Fall is coming... After finishing stretch last week, the introduction of Hy-Pro Epic Bloom really got the bud production going. Mimosa stem is covered in trichomes, Blueberry is showing beautiful colors and Jack Herer is bulking. Everything is going as planned so far. Not that much to do at this point. Following my Hy-Pro nutrient scheme makes it just super easy, to turn those plants into the most beautiful ones, i ever grew. Just like last week, i fed them the following: Hy-Pro Terra: 4,5ml/l (component nutrients) Hy-Pro Generator: 0.16ml/l Hy-Pro Cal-mag: 4ml/l Hy-Pro Epic Bloom: 0,5ml/l EC: 1,8 VPD: 1,40 PPFD: 930 µmol/m²/s Blueberry and Mimosa Evo are showing some very characteristic colouring. I am very happy, to see this. Can't wait to see them in full colouration. It really is a Joy, to watch them change colours so rapidly, you can see differences every day. Pure plant entertainment. Stay tuned! Grow strong, Friends! 👽

Plants are looking good overall, screen is in place and plants are being weaved through for Scrog. We are waiting to fill the screen a wee bit more before we flip. Being RDWC these girls will definitely get much bigger through there stretch so we will probably flip to flower next week but we will see. They are starting to suck up the water fairly good now and I’m adding about 2-3 gal of 3/4 strength nute’d water every 2-3 days now roughly.

Missed last week so the measurements for their feeding was for 8 weeks this week they got PH water only 3 liters each. These girls are in their final stretch they will get one more feeding and then start the flush. They get fed or watered every 4 days as needed. Ultimate #3 which has been the dwarf since the beginning has wind burn from the fan had to readjust the fan and move the lights up so the other two don’t get fried. They are looking and smelling good and their buds are coming together nicely. As with the last batch of Ultimates they aren’t sticky yet they seem to wait to really develop that stickiness until just before harvest.

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week two in the flowering phase of the Pink Rozay expedition, and oh, what a captivating chapter it has been. Our queen is unfolding her floral tapestry with grace, filling up the space like a true botanical maestro. It's time to dive into the enchanting details of this week's developments. The mass defoliation that marked the transition into flowering has proven to be a strategic masterpiece. The Pink Rozay is now flourishing, and her majestic presence is felt throughout the room. The Scrog net, once a mere framework, is now a living canvas, painted with the vibrant hues of blooming potential. As I stroll through the green haven, I'm greeted by a sight that warms the heart – the Pink Rozay revealing her first signs of flower sites. It's a moment of pure botanical poetry, a promise of the visual symphony that is yet to unfold. The LED's spectrum, courtesy of Future Of Grow, continues to be the guiding light, coaxing out the innate beauty of each bud and leaf. Aptus Holland's NutriSpray, the botanical spa treatment, has been a ritual of care. The Pink Rozay, adorned with the organic surfactants and microelements like Manganese, Sulphur, Zinc, and Iron, is thriving in an atmosphere of nourishment and vitality. It's a dance of elements, a harmonious exchange between plant and nutrients. In the nutrient realm, the Pink Rozay is now enjoying the benefits of Aptus Holland's P-Boost. This phosphorus booster, 100% soluble in water, is the orchestrator of blooming processes. Enriched with organic acids, it not only stimulates protein, hormone, and vitamin production but also acts as a pH harmonizer. It's a delicate balance, and P-Boost is the maestro ensuring every note is in tune. And then, there's the switch from Startbooster to the entrancing Topbooster. This organic blend of bloom and maturation stimulation is the secret ingredient to enhancing the Pink Rozay's natural rhythms. Larger fruits with more fibres, resins, and sugars are on the horizon, promising a harvest that's not just abundant but a sensory delight. The Pink Rozay saga continues to unfold, and I'm thrilled to witness the dance of petals and fragrances reaching new heights. As always, immense gratitude to Aptus Holland for their nutrient mastery and to Future Of Grow for providing the illuminating backdrop to this botanical spectacle. Stay tuned, fellow growers, as we venture deeper into the floral enchantment. The Pink Rozay is flourishing, and I'm grateful to have you all on this radiant journey.

The 7th week started. Based on the Breeder's description it is supposed to be the final week for The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe so it should be ready to harvest. It is my first grow but I can say it needs a minimum of 2 weeks to be ready. I think 10 weeks at least. I have checked another diary with the same strain and it took 10-12 weeks to be finished. I placed the Purple Punch 38 hours Darkness so from now I will give 14 hours darkness and 10 hours light schedule to start flowering. They are in the same tent so I take out in the morning to be in darkness, and put back at night. I did reset the timers. Water: 125 ml 2x daily each plant so altogether 250ml a day for 2 plants. I raise up every week with 50 ml a week per plant. Fertilization the same amount of water the same acacia honey around 2 big spoons and bat guano 1 teaspoon per 1-liter water and I fertilize it 3 times a week every second day on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, plus one-half day like on Saturday once. So from today (Thursday), I started forcing the feminized strain Purple Punch to flower also after 45 days from germination. This week not too much things to say. The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe stopped growing just added an extra 5 cm to its height. Hopefully it focuses on the bigger buds creation. Purple Punch grew an extra 2 cm. End of the week Purple Punch is 37 cm, Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 70cm.

Day 14 VEG: A good week of settling in and heading outwards to the pots edges this week. No stress , just a nice, relaxed , adjusting to the world they will inhabit for the next 10 weeks or so. They are nearly all on their 5th nodes now so will possibly begin to play with the 5th growth nodes this week to break the apical dominance ( focus of energy on the main stem and bud) . I do like how neat and tidy autos can grow naturally but they can also get leggy and waste a lot of grow room vertical space that is always at a premium for me in my cramped , awkward space. I plan to now use 3 different methods on the Amnesia haze to compare side-by-side as we grow. Will hopefully answer some questions about the methods and which produces better results. One will be topped , one f.i.mmed and the last one trained over horizontal at the 5th node but uncut. The last method is better suited to a wider pot than the ones I am using but will be worth a try !. They are currently happy and healthy with no signs of any genetic issues but the #2 is in a more compacted soil which has resulted in an odd rectangular shape to her overall footprint. Her middle leaf points are retarded on all of her fan leaves so far and it will be interesting to see how she progresses too. The Girl scout cookies are also nice and healthy looking so far with no concerns at all. I plan to defoliation one of these ladies at intervals and stripped her right back during flowering while the other one is kept intact with a light defol as it grows to avoid light blocking only. Again this could answer a few queries regarding autoflowers and defoliation for a few of us. I hope to make this an interesting and informative run and welcome any comments , advice/questions or general chatter as we go along. ANY SPONSORS WITH TOO MUCH MERCH OR STUFF TO TEST , I AM GAME LOL. Just saying...... Until next time growmies. Be well UPDATE DAY 15 LST. today I started working with the ladies and completed the planned methods for them #1 Amnesia haze had the F.I.M which inhopenworks ( irony at it's best!!). I chose topping of Amnesia haze #2 as she looks like her nodes will be quite far apart compared to the other 2 and her lower growth was nowhere near as bushy as her 2 sisters either. This topping should stop her pushing the height of the lights up for her lankinness. #3 is going to be pulled over on her 5th node once it is long enough to pin down to 90° . Girl scout cookies have been cleaned of their 1st and 2nd nodes so i can focus the attention on the 5 remaining mains as they grow out more.. watch this space.lol .

Huge week in the tent. Lollipopping. Defoliation. Redid the LST ties. Added height to the plants to level the canopy. Added the blumats self watering setup. The tent got a total makeover. They look healthy otherwise.

Day 15 - First day in the second week of veg cycle and I am generally happy with both ladies. Cheech is looking like she is bending over a little with the weight of her leaves, so I’ve given her a bit of help to keep her steady and strong. I’ve also noticed that the roots on Cheech are sticking together and a bit darker than I would like. This could mean that the air stone left a “dead spot” where the water wasn’t circulating properly. I’ve adjusted the air stone to be more centre in the bucket and made sure that the water is cold enough to prevent potential root rot. Will need to keep a close eye for the next week or so. Lights have been not been adjusted (still at 60cm from seedlings) because there has only been about a 2cm growth in the last week. Changed the water (10L), buckets and nutrients to keep everything healthy. The tubes for the air bubblers are wiped down because the nutrients stick to the pipe. Milwaukee PH controller is running for about 1 hour to bring the PH down again from the addition of the nutrients and change in water. Day 17 and we have a clear front runner in Cheech. Her third node is open with a fourth clearly visible. Venezia has a clear third node, but it isn’t fully open yet with the fourth just barely starting. Day 20 - Cheech has a clear fourth node now and the fifth is starting to show whereas Venezia is one node behind. They are looking healthy and they will be ready to be topped in the coming week of veg
