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.

Esta semana veniamos notando el strech, y ahora notamos como se forma el cogollo. Piden bastante calmag, lo cual aun no ando fino del todo. Pero como no conozco la genetica voy de menos a mas. Tratamos de mantener una temperatura no mayor a 27 y una humedad de entre 50-60. Estoy regando cada 2 dias, y todo va muy bien. Ahora comenzamos a fertilizar de a poco. Trato de meter en la mezcla calmag (0,4) sensi (1.0-1.2) y luego aditivos 2 ml x litro. Y siempre mido run off, trato de regar en base al drenaje, una relacion entre el input y runoff. Seguimos aprendiendo y eso es lo que mas me interesa.

Hi, everyone 👋 a few days ago I was given a TS1000 lamp by Mars Hydro for grow purposes....this is the perfect opportunity to make and test a Bubble Bucket. I never had one and always wanted to try one out 😎 i had half the stuff needed to build a Bubbler and at this point i"m only lacking a exhaust fan with filter. As the TS1000 from Mars Hydro brings a powerful 150 Watt on board and 2,3umol/J 💪💪💪 I plan to start with two plants, but because my excellent Mars Hydro grow tent is a 60 x 60 cm (2'x2') I am not able to fit in two Bubblers... so i decided to grow the Amnesia CBD Auto by Dinafem in a bubbler and Blue Cheese Auto(when its sprouts :) in traditional method in soil (for comparison reasons). If the DWC will work really well and there only place for one plant i will move the Blue Cheese Auto to a different tent... if not they will grow together. As the Dinafem seed bank is no longer there the seeds i got are a couple years old and i used 4 seeds to sprout one seedling of Amnesia CBD Auto. Let's start of this babies and see them flourish under the my new awesome Mars Hydro TS1000 lamp. All the best to my fellow grower, keep it growing friends 💪😍

DAY 28 flowering: Hi all Hope we are all fine and dandy in the grow diaries world this week. It has been a steady week this week with the ladies now focusing purely on bud site development . The only lady not really thriving is the smaller Mexican airline #1. It does seem she will be all plant and very little yield at this point but we will see it through. She isn't poor by any means but I do think she will have a inferiority complex within these beauties. Heehee Thankfully the other five ladies are powering on and producing some potential big bud sites. The stars of the grow are the Strawberry pie girls. These plants are huge and very, very productive . The lowers are developing some nice bud sites that in themselves look like beasts developing. They have really dense looking flowers that will no doubt become thick and possibly need some support on the side growth but seeing the stem strengths , they may be ahead of that issue themselves already. A perfect strain for an outside run for sure and with no training beside the tip spreading , they have easily now reached approx 4ft tall. The buds start really low on each limb with some node spacing initially large but the growing tips and main stem have a more stacked up bud appearance forming. I think they could possibly top my personal best for the autos at this rate. Both have about the same structure and bud building so I would hazard the same phenotype too. This is the second time I have grown this strain and the last one was very similar too. Very stable and should give some top notch nugs out. Six Shooter #1 is only slightly smaller than the Strawberry pie and has just as many productive side branches that want to show off too. Her sibling #2 was grown a lot flatter after the tip spreading and seems lost down low in the canopy now. She has a lot of buds tucked away but could easily be overgrown by the mexican#2 and Strawberry Pie #2 , if I am not pro active with her progress. As mentioned earlier, the Mexican airlines are both healthy and happy but the #2 is far more productive than the #1 . I do expect that the #1 will harvest a little after the others and that she may come through in the end. Overall these strains are genetic perfection this run . They have done their own thing with only the tip spreading being my intervention initially , and they have produced 6 perfect looking plants that are clearly different strains . From past experiences with these 3 strains , "The best is yet to come " with the development of their unique looking buds. Here comes some down and dirty bud porn only viewable to the faithful.!!! Be lucky all , catch you soon

The flowers really started to show this week. Still looking healthy. I ran out of the biobizz grow feed this week so hopefully don't need any more of that.

Day 57 of flower, we’re on the home stretch now. I’ve been flushing them out for the past week or so now. I like to flush for 21 days. IMO, I think the buds taste better and smoke smoother when you flush longer than usually but that’s just me! No specific pics/vids of the white widow but I thought I share my entire garden with you guys. I said I would harvest on day 70 but I might harvest on day 63-65 because I’m seeing more amber trichomes every day. My next update will either be harvesting or I’ll be letting them go for another week. Until next update! 🙏🏾

Finally finished my first grow. I've learned a lot, and look forward to learning more. Main mistakes made: -not enough drainage early on -misreading leaf colour change thinking it was a deficiency, but it was normal Stay tuned for round two in coco and one outdoor0000

And the winner is….. Divine Kush! To say the least, she fought the most and she really shined through. If you see the video above 👆 you can see how wowed we are by her, not only because she sprouted her own seed within herself but also because it shows how much moisture she had to deal with and she sort of found an interesting way to disperse of it! We did try to plant her seedling but unfortunately it did not survive but we are still in awe of it happening before our eyes. Nature is amazing and Our Kushy girl is very much appreciated, she has taught us quite a bit this year. WOW 🤩💚✌️ Plz note, we totally forgot to weigh her.

At the end of week 11 of vegetation the blackberry cake feminised is doing well. She has not recovered completely but she’ll be fine to bloom. She will need further treatment to the substrate ie drying out. The lady has been slightly defoliated as I took the bottom leaves away. The substrate has been loosened to introduce more co2 to the roots. The stem is stalk like and the is new growth on the leaves. She has grown a steady 4cm this week and she’s standing at 57cm tall the blackberry cake feminised is ready for bloom!

Everyone is healthy. I have bought a humidifier to push the humidity to the max (95%) for 10 hours and 3 days per week. I want to alter the humidity to let some light go through, otherwise.it's too steamy and I think that the plants can't catch the light nor CO2. Don't hesitate to share your thoughts on this in the comment section. During Week 1: The seed grew very rapidly. by up to 5 - 6 cm. 2 leafs started growing. During Week 2: each had 4 leafs and one durga Mata has already started to grow its second floor.

Week 7 This lady is filling out nicely. She looks like she has at least 2 weeks left at this point. Her tent mate only has a week or so. Cooler internals; 5.9pH 350 ppm 66F I can’t wait to see this plant really chunk up in the next few weeks.

Wow what can I fucking say... A real experience this was. True og x platinum is special cultivator. This freebie was a limited get it or don't this weekend sale only. I was lucky enough to snag some s7, candy cane, and 2 true ogs. The first true og failed due to me trying new germ methods. This one however weather no lights for 8 days with a window seal veg. She them bounced back and grew VIGOROUSLY. With the help of clonex and great white, we were able to top and clone her 2 weeks in veg and with strong lateral roots in 8 days. As week 3 to 4 approached we then transplanted the clones into a new solo which was uneeded I know now. She great rapidly and was then sprayed with 30ppm colloidal silver. This was to prep her for a reversal in hope of a potential keeper just based on her vegetation growth alone. She is incredible man, a really fast grower. As we approached week 5 and 6 of the vegetation process her clones got huge with big fan leaves which is know of the True Og since she is a high Indica hybrid. Her mama was the spread out over theist days of her vegetation cycle and achieved around 32 tops. For and indica she does stretch well but my downfall was not knowing she was indica or "noticing" it by physical traits. I should have given her 8 weeks and then I would have had 64 tops with everything spread out with an impressive lollipop.... maybe 128 one tent?!.. In all honestly I should have given her 8 weeks to create 30 colas instead of bud sites and nice chunky tops. Amazing quality just need the yield... okay back to it.. As the stretch went for around 3 weeks or 20 days, I hsted and lsted where needed to keep an even canopy. She transitions to flower fast and likes bloom around week 3 into 4. She builds heavy frost early on in the first 20 to 30 days to flower. Next time she will definitely go past 70 days. 62 days was definitely pristine and she definitely is a keeper. As mid to late flower set in, I Backed off gradually on the grow and increased on the bloom. I threw in terpinator late but will try near week 4 to 5 next go at her. She stacks incredible fast and well. Each bud created on this monster are dense as golf balls. She then starts to fade around Day 40. The 40s you will see purples and fall colors which then turn into a mix of reds, violets, autumn, and blackish purple. She then throws the most tirchomes once she near day 50. Her bracts bulk hard as they fatten to finish but her pistils which are thin and horse hair like are very very few. This is an amazing feature as her flower to leaf ratio is more hmmm give me bud.. Her terp profile boasts early and bullies other plants until harvest. She smells of berries, just, gas, spice.... honestly it's extremely complex... As I finally pulled her slightly amber on day 62 which was one of her early harvest ranges I'd day 60 to 75 for this strain. She was all cloudy however during the pull. As the mom dried for a couple of days, we pulled some okay numbers and have learned a lot and we also know what to do to triple this harvest number next go.. the clone was also successfully reversed and we believe created f1s true og x plat visions cut and true slurricane by visions... we will updated as soon as we know... Smoke report: OH man... this will be an ongoing thing until Christmas... I won't smoke much more until after march.. She is being saved until I get more. True Og x Plat 💯 hits like a fucking truck. She is a heavy head hitter with body stoning blended in as well which give her a nice balanced hybrid hit. It truly lives up to the platinum lineage tho with inhouses trichome productivity which is sugary and potent on hit almost like the sugar cane 🤔 She is extremely sticky when grinding into a bowl. The bud sticks completely in your top grinder almost every time.. As you smoke her you get the smoothest God damn smoke you'll ever smoke.. The smoke has a diesel pungent sting to the nose immediately after you take a hit. I'd say for a rookie it's probably a no go for you buddy... soon after that you are given the true og coined term "couchlocked" A real winner with other flavors which are extremely complex and can't be named until later--------------->>> The flavors found/ complex terpene profiles given off by this cultivar are I'd say "loud". Very creamy berry kush notes on the jar opening. When you smoke her 2 hits into a bowl, your face with feel red and flushed like a dab would. Shes like smoking pure hash essentially. Thats how greasy she is. On the exhale you experience complex notes but mainly earthy diesel kush funk. Very enjoyable relaxing high. Very potent. 2 friends took 2 hits and said it was too much to function even after that... for an average smoker it needs a warning label 🏷️ True Og X Platinum truly serves its purpose medicinally in large amounts with pain numbing goods and most important sleep. She takes the tension from everyday endeavors and throws that shit in the rear view mirrors. Large amounts induce permanent sleep. This is highly recommended as a night time smoke which worms great with my lifestyle. I really enjoyed growing this cultivar. The only thing I regret is not giving her 2 more weeks in veg. I would have capitalized instead of just getting some. Would have doubled if not tripled my harvest numbers. OH well. There will be a volume 2 shortly 😀 Update: No clone seeds. Pollen was kept. I believe it was due to using a store bought ppm. Nearly 35 days I think to get some pollen. Wasn't strong enough to reverse in a timely fashion for pollination. I'll grab a clone from wicked however and still continue crosses however. Rawtton will get some true og pollen however. All is not lost.

LSTed the plants at the start of the week. Just a simple tie down. Looking good. Leaves were a bit dark green on all of them except the NL #1 so still no nitrogen feeding. Started BioBizz Grow on NL1 only.

Also was kann man abschließend sagen, ich finde die Sorte echt sehr sehr stabil und robust, verzeiht auch Fehler 😅🙊😁 Ich finde nächstes mal muss ich weniger Lampen Leistung in der vegi Phase nutzen und oder höheren Abstand, denn sie hätten noch größer / bzw bisschen mehr Strecken können, aber das lag halt daran das ich die Lampen mit zuviel Leistung zu nahe, an den Pflanzen hatte während der vegi Phase und nächstes Mal mehr auslichten, aber das sind Erfahrungs Werte die man sammelt von daher bin ich sehr sehr zufrieden, und Runtz Muffin von Barnys farm hat voll und ganz überzeugt, die Farben während des grows waren einfach toll und der jetzige Geruch und Geschmack ist fast nicht beschreibbar ha ha aber unnormal lecker schön mit meinem volcano bei 185 grad, einfach köstlich ha ha ha und die6 Wirkung is bombe 😅😁😁😁💣 So what can you say in conclusion, I think the variety is really very, very stable and robust, also forgives mistakes 😅🙊😁 I think next time I have to use less lamp power in the vegi phase and or a greater distance, because they could have been larger / or a little more stretch, but that was because I had the lamps with too much power too close to the plants Thinning out more during the vegi phase and next time, but these are empirical values ​​that you collect, so I'm very, very satisfied, and Runtz Muffin from Barnys farm was completely convincing, the colors during the grow were just great and the current smell and taste is almost indescribable ha ha but abnormally delicious beautiful with my volcano at 185 degrees, simply delicious ha ha ha and the effect is bombshell 😅😁😁😁💣
