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.

Disclaimer: if you want to have a big flash like a big trip focus on the trichomes, really crazy colors. I still have to recover from the beauty of the Purple Urkle harvested last week that must amaze me again: even this time we are embarrassed by the beauty of the colors of this plant, this time it is a plant with shades of purple that if you go to see then in micro are fantastic very light trichomes on lilac and all shades of purple. We have nice big buds this time, of that type with a large calyx but really beautiful and elegant. ** Remember that for all the varieties we have at least two plants, one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques (come back during the week to see). Today we talk about the harvest of the phenotype with shades of purple. Technique used // In this case we did topping repeatedly x16 and cleaned the sparse branches. Better with the techniques or normal? This time we have two very different phenotypes, one plant with medium internodal distance for beauty and color better than the other, this one beautiful flowers and beautiful quantity. Flower quality // From one to 10 stars 10. The plant has resinated very well on all sides, it is super mature, very mature pistils, mature trichomes, the flowers are very purple and of a very good general quality. There is also a fair quantity this time. We washed the flowers according to the procedure suggested by zamnesia. Check the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/guida-growing-cannabis/333-lavaggio-delle-ceme Fertilizers// I am very happy with how I managed to unload the plant that at a certain point before going to flush was fed for a few days only with additives and then went to flush and we are very very well discolored, I predict a very tasty flower, grown organic and flushed successfully, the flavor and taste will be epic. All the fertilizers and additives of Plagron in the green / 100% organic version have fully satisfied me. Choose your soil based on your style and calculate the sheet on the website www.plagron.com - Bro if you are stubborn use additives listen every now and then....and then come and tell me. The fertilizers instead are found in convenient all-inclusive packages on the Zamnesia website. Purple dl CALI flavour ... ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11168-zamnesia-seeds-purple-urkle.html Zamnesia Description // A direct descendant of a Mendocino Purps phenotype, Purple Urkle is a high-performance cultivar from Zamnesia Seeds. This feminized, indica-dominant strain is sure to win over any cannabis grower. With a THC content of 20%, Purple Urkle has a lot to offer from seed to harvest and beyond. Suitable for growing indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse, Purple Urkle is a very resilient strain. Growers will be impressed by how easy this cultivar is to manage. Purple Urkle can reach 120cm indoors and 160cm outdoors, but if you want more control over the height, LST can be used. Purple Urkle has fantastic flavours and aromas that intensify during the flowering phase. Regardless of the method of consumption, Purple Urkle offers pungent and fruity flavors that lean toward notes of grapes, berries and plums. The effects of this strain are soothing and relaxing, with uplifting sensations that make the experience suitable for any occasion, both social and solitary. Music and frequencies // For about 4/6 hours a day my plants listen to 432 Hz frequencies created specifically for their well-being and sometimes a bit of black music to give them those vibrations that only music can give. www.radionula.com All the best that mother nature has to offer is at —— www.zamnesia.com

Blue Zushi entra en su recta final con una presencia imponente. Cada rincón del cuarto de cultivo refleja el esfuerzo de estas semanas, y las plantas están en su punto más vistoso hasta ahora. Los cogollos han alcanzado un nivel de compactación sobresaliente. Se sienten duros al tacto, pesados y llenos de resina. La capa de tricomas es densa y opaca, como una escarcha blanca que lo cubre todo. El característico tono azul se ha intensificado al máximo, sobre todo en las hojas cercanas a las puntas, creando un contraste visual que parece sacado de una postal. La nutrición sigue igual: XpertNutrients como base y Sticky Fingers como potenciador de resina, que no ha dejado de sorprender. En esta fase, la acumulación de terpenos se hace evidente: los aromas son más penetrantes, complejos y embriagadores. El perfil se define con notas cítricas más dulces, casi caramelizadas, sobre un fondo kush cremoso y ligeramente especiado. La iluminación con Adlite sigue marcando la diferencia. La densidad de cogollos incluso en zonas menos expuestas lo confirma. La distribución de la luz ha permitido un desarrollo muy equilibrado de toda la planta. Las condiciones ambientales se han mantenido estables, lo que ha permitido evitar cualquier estrés: temperaturas entre 22 y 24 °C y una humedad que ya se empieza a bajar ligeramente, en torno al 45-50%, para prepararnos de cara al final. El ambiente está cargado de aroma, intenso y agradable, pero también indica que se acerca el momento decisivo. La mayoría de los tricomas están ya lechosos y muchos comienzan a teñirse de ámbar. La planta pide calma, pero ya deja entrever que la cosecha está muy cerca. Una joya que está casi lista para brillar al máximo. ¡Últimos pasos antes del gran final! ✨ Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

The roots are all tapped in and taking up nutrients. I’m on the fence as to the prospect of using grow slabs under my rockwool cubes in the future as it seems to slow the growth in the early stages on autos when time is critical. I’m sure they have a better base to grow on but when the roots tap through the bottom of the medium and move about the totes is when the magic happens. Not much I can do about it now and it would be more than fine in my photo room to make healthy beast mode plants. They are on a full 1200 ppm of nutrients and the one mutant In the back I have no doubt will end up happy and beautiful in the end. She just had a hard time getting rid of her shell.

Spectacular autoflowering kush strain, very kushy smell for real, very citric and earthy, piney too, loving this terps, I have moved her along with all ofmylast automatic plants of this outdoor season inside under my LED panel of HortiONE. They're almost ready to chop down and I think they're gonna finish perfectly under this LED. Let's see how it goes 💜💚✌️

New week! Tips and help from last week, I had around 1500 ppm and I did flush my roots in water and change everything. Now is around 1000 ppm and dropping 150 ppm a day. Did read about water level in DWC and how to increase the grow with water. I had the water almost up to the root or the level of there the basket is. Now I have 1-2 inch (2-5 cm) below where the roots come out. This create air roots. I'm not sure if it's the air roots or the ppm but my flower is boosting. Can se buds grow!! Trimming so I can keep the same hight. Have any tips or rekomandation? Only have one question for next week and this is: it's looking a bit thigth between the buds and all of the leaf is cristal on it. Should I cut some more leaf? And what leaf should I trim? Is so thigth in there. Or will it grow fine?

Overall, the garden is doing great. Had a scare with the WW with letting it dry out a little but it looks like its going to be fine. The pistils are starting to change color and leaves are starting to lose color but the buds are fattening up. I can't wait to see how they all turn out.

Into Week 8 now and really filling out. A good solid healthy outdoor plant with little to no extra care or intervention so far, really happy with it and excited to see how it finishes out. Scratched in some Coast of Maine Fish Bone Meal toward the end of the week and then lightly watered in for a little feed.

Taking a heavy heat wave in my area... so my girls are beeing cooked alive I hate to see them like this... I already added more CO2 to help them compensate a bit. Well the clones are beeing flushed for almost 5 days now in 4-6 days im gonna put them into 48 h darkness and harvest wish me the best =) Trichomes are looking evenly brownish all over the plants now just like I love them :P Also trying out the Clean fruits for flushing will see what it can do for me=)

Added another fan for more air circulation, plants seeming to love the environment and are doing great. Smell is pungent and nugs are starting to swell!

First week of flower done. Girls are looking super happy and are going strong. I fed them with a very light mix of FPJ and some fish and seaweed mix. Next feeding will include some banana FFJ. I have removed all the lower branches and leaves, only keeping the top 3 nodes (on some I left a few more). At the end of the first week, they are stretching a bit and really filling up the space. Hopefully they won't be stretching too much.

Heeeere we go! Sorry for the late update! This is when I start the flush! I believe the plants are pretty much ready at this point and doing this will just improve the final product! Doing this took me a good chunk of time, mostly because I didn't know exactly how much of water I was going to need (it was a loooot 😫) and how hard/tiring it was to pH it as well. In the end my calculations were off, as I needed far more water than what I had (lol) so I didn't manage to do a full flush... but I still managed to lower the amount of salts and residues to a "decent" level (around 850 to 1500 ppm). I also used flawless finish so I suppose than even when I didn't use enough water that solution alone was enough to help! Besides that the rest of the week was quite calm and relaxing. Thanks everyone for reading! 😍

Small pot Do-si-Dos got chopped today (March 2) the buds are super frosty and sticky, but they are small and not very dense. Not much else to say, will update in 6-7 days with dry weight and smoke report.

Amazing the difference a week can make on some of these plants. She beautiful and getting gassy already. Lowered the temp to 72. Juice is still pumping
