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.

So started this in mid June/early July in my greenhouse. This was my first greenhouse grow! During the summer temps reached up to 130f. I was a little nervous with the heat during early flower but she handled the heat very well. Before the chop, temps got low as 45f at night. I never had any issues with pest (I used 500 lady bugs and 2 praying mantis). Checked every week for mold since the buds are super stacked. No bud rot or any type of issues. I will grow this again because I didn’t take clones :(

Week 2 of flower and the pistils are starting to shoot out. I've been watering pretty consistent every other day, F drinks a lot and gets thirsty the quickest. Clones are pretty big and the light is dimmed down a bit, I'll transplant them up to I think 3 gallon pots soon Lollipped a good 6 inches off the bottom of the plants over the 2 cuttings and they look good and healthy, in the next coue weeks they will start getting into their full development.

Cherry cola are done growing up and are fattening up nicely and producing a nice frosting of trichomes .

Probably last foto session out of the grow box. Solution of Orgatrex and PK-5-8 with every watering, she is now getting 2 lit per day manually. I will connect autopot during periods of my absence but I am afraid that she may stay without enough nutrients. I am still under trauma of my first grow when I left them for 10 days unsupervised and at the time I was back there was lot of damage.

Last week of flower! Trikes are mostly milky with a few amber showing up. The Frosty Bananas is a little ahead of the Apple Candie but 1 more week should be fine. This is by far the best bud I have ever grown. I know 90 percent is the genetics but I have also completely changed how I grow. Soil, food, watering and lights. The anticipation is killing me..

15/10/2024 Lights On! All looks well. She's drinking now just over 8L: Current feed schedule 5L/Lights On! 3L/Lights Off! It's apparent the 65L Pot is allowing her roots to stretch and feed more! It can be risky transplanting during early flower; 😬 looking back of my diaries, I mess this up. Looks like the fence steal bracket diy worked for multipurpose lol Will look for a better alternative later on! 16/10/2024 Lights On! Both Freaky Pablos 🤪 turned out to be males!

Currently under a budmaster god 6 & 4 averaging about 550watts with 30dli under canopy! No uv leds installed on these budmasters for they are mostly used for vegging. Hopefully I should be able to use the spectrum king for her last 3 weeks of flower. I have two but I need to get a series 600 meanwell driver for it. The crop master needs some new leds soldered on for its lost a lot of its optics and efficacy.

There is a timelapse of this week, Blueberry is in the background. This entry covers days 30 - 38. This week has seen violent acts. I've topped the blueberry. She's doing well! I've started to give this plant less light so I can give more energy to the flowering GSC auto. I'm not sure how much this will stunt my plant. Lately my feeding schedules for both this plant and my GSC auto are obtained by following the GH Flora Series recirculating feed chart on the General Hydroponics website. I put the amounts they suggest for 1 gallon, but I use 3 gallons of water. So, I give the plants 1/3 of what the feed chart recommends. It's worked well so far. My plants are thriving, and I haven't seen signs of nutrient burn. The only deficiencies I encounter are Cal Mag. I remedy this by mixing in some tap water with my RO water.

My OG Kush seedling is looking fantastic! It's branching out really well, with strong, sturdy stems and vibrant deep green leaves. There's a sweet, almost creamy scent coming from it that reminds me of an Oreos plant I grew a while back. It's got that classic OG Kush vigor, and I'm excited to see how it develops! The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this past week! We've been hitting that sweet spot of 70 degrees during the day, perfect for getting outside and soaking up some sun. Then, it cools down to a comfy 50 degrees at night, which is ideal for sleeping with the windows open. I've been loving all the fresh air! I finally got around to building that little wooden planter for my windowsill. It was a fun project, and now my regular plants have a nice new home. It really brightens up the room, and I'm thinking of adding some herbs to it soon. Maybe I'll even try growing some basil!

Como podeis ver en el video, han duplicado su tamaño en cuestión de 12 días, por lo que ha sido necesario la utilización de tutores y una poda de bajos bien potente pues ya no podré hacerle más, aparecen las primeras flores y con ello iré aumentando la EC progresivamente, pero con mucho cuidado de no sobrefertilizar .

Today 23/07/22 We are two days into week 5, never talked about nutrient or water’ problems I had some leaves with few yellow marks but very small one beside that I always saw my plants green and happy, here you can see the scrog I set up yesterday not sure if this will work better but I think will help the branches grow further from the others increasing the light they riceve! I made it myself I will order one for the next grown when I will get my grow box! The watermelon is already flowering but the northern light no so today I started feeding the plants with different preparations.. I kept on giving the grow booster with a bit of bloom booster and viceversa for the watermelon! If you have any tips anything you think I’m doing wrong or you see it’s not ok let me know I don’t grow in a box I grow between the curtains and my window so the environment wasn’t always the perfect one
