Since I'm playing catch up with documenting my first grow cycle, I'm going to combine weeks and just give updates. I mentioned in the last weekly comment about adding the wicking bases and how that can be potentially problematic. Well here's where I noticed the issue but mostly with the Orange Sherbet sativa. I started noticing changes in color and leaves that didn't look good to me. Fortunately, I have a couple of great friends who also grow and have been able to take advantage of their knowledge and experience along the way. I highly recommend doing this if you have friends who also grow. Anyway, I had one of my friends come over and it was determined that the issue was due mainly to overwatering. We decided that with the wicking bases in addition to the humidity level in the tent, that the plant was staying too wet. Catching this quickly and addressing it is huge with autos since they tend to be more delicate that regular plants (as I understand things anyway). To address the overwatering issue, I immediately stopped using the wicking bases and let the plants dry out for about a week. I did no watering at all for the week but kept the humidifier going. That really helped correct what was going on. I then decided that I was no longer going to use the wicking bases at all and only do top watering. You'll see as I move forward with documenting this grow cycle, that I changed my mind again on this once the plants went into flower. But hey, what do you expect, this was my first ever grow.

Day 99 09/08/24 Friday Feed today, using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, no plagron products this week due to seeing nute burn. But she has bounced back yet again from a heavy defoliation and topping last week. Trying to keep her small enough to flip in the tent 🤞 She is a demon though!! No matter what I take back, she always gives me more 😍 Day 100 10/08/24 Saturday Picture and video update ✌️ 💚 Day 101 11/08/24 Sunday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today again with calmag. Day 102 12/08/24 Monday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today again with calmag and Plagron PK13-14 5L 10% run off Thriving 😍✌️💚

Wow she's grown 34cm this week!!!! Monster!!!!!!!!!! I wish I knew what she was!!! If I had to guess a breeder I'd say this seed came from FastBuds as it was their type of container.... But what exact strain? I have no idea whatsoever. 😭

So week 9 is done and dusted and these girls are absolutely stinking , this is my first ever grow but ive smoked my fair share of bud and I must say the smell in the tent is one of the strongest ive ever smelt.... So anyway back to week 9... its been plain sailing really ive got some baby GSC autos in with the white widows so ive kept a dome on them obviously to keep the humidity up... The girls really are packing on the crystals now and I dont think we are to far away from cutting her down.. the packet said 11 weeks but im more guessing it will be around 13 weeks, either way there isn't much to report apart from she continues to be a dream to grow and ill he back for week 10's update very soon.... enjoy the pics and videos 😍 Happy growing people.... 😍😍

10 out of 10 on these lovely ladies. They popped up after being soaked for 48hrs then 48hrs after being planted we had sprouts. Excited for these as it's been a little while since I last grew it. Last time it won be 2nd place at the universe cup for Hash. This year it'll go to the 2026AAC. Happy Growing

Massive fattening this week from the Lemon AK, shes a big one. Another 2-3 weeks and she might be ready! Zkittles is maturing, but slower than i had hoped :( another week at least i think. but thats about what everyone else gets. Both of these plants are very true to their names and smell spot on. Lower nute intake seems to be working somewhat so im gonna keep it this way till the end.

Black Opium has continued flower development and is looking very promising. The buds are fattening up very nicely. Good things to come for this one! 😁 I'm trying to add in some PK boosters at this stage, she's looking beautiful. I'm adding Bud explosion, Seaweed extract, Ecothrive Flourish, and Sea K. To increase the Phosphorus and Potassium, to aid in flower development. Let's see how fat these buds can get! Here is what I did this week. 4.9.25: I watered with 3L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with; 💜 2ml Trace PH: 6.4 PPM: 361 9.9.25: I watered with 3.25L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with; 💜 6ml Flourish 💜 1 TSP Sea K(elp) 💜 .5 TSP Bud Explosion PH: 6.3 PPM: 970 Thanks for checking in this week and hanging out in the comments, Best of luck to everyone in the contest, Happy Growing 😊💚✌️🍃🙏

still growing fast as fuck. i was falling more and more in love with her as time passed. she was showing signs of hunger so i gave her, her first feed of veg nutes on december 5th 2021. I mixed 1/2 tsp to each gallon. I used a bucket with 3 gallons of dechlorinated tap water. Decmber 8th: same amount of veg to gallons of water with the same 1/2 tsp. phd to 6.4. December 10th gave her a feed honestly dont know how much. id say about 10-20 cups worth of dechlorinated tap water with 1/2 tsp of veg nutes to 3 gallons.

Couldn't help but take lots of photos this week.. Nuggets are really starting to fill out and the white hairs are beginning to brown. Lots of new trichomes without heads and a few have turned milky. Thought this would be done by now and I really need the space for my other girl thats currently stretching due to lack of light. Considering that and also not wanting to harvest prematurely, I'm trying to decide when to start the 7-14 day flushing period, any advice would be HUGELY appreciated. Thanks for stopping by 😎

Moin liebe Growgemeinschaft. Es geht in die zweite Woche bisher läuft alles sauber die kleinen wachsen und gedeihen. Die anderen 3 Runtz sind alle gekeimt zwar eine Woche später wie die F1 aber sie sind da. An dieser Stelle liebe Grüße an Royal Queen Seeds👋. Der eine Runtz Samen war sehr sehr klein im Vergleich zu seinen Geschwistern in der Packung, wunderte mich das der überhaupt gekeimt ist. Schauen wir mal ob sie den Kopf in den nächsten Tagen hoch bekommt. Grüne Grüße euer Dr.Greenfinger

Heeey! 👋 Here's the third week of flower or the 2nd with actually visible buds! And some have grown quite a lot in such little time, nice! 😁 And the plant stretched a lot too! Sooo, everything is going well, or it seems that way! If anything what's happening is that I'm still taking too long to water my plants (but they do recover fast!) 😖 and I'm also giving them all the proper nutrients they need (I was missing one last week, oops!). I also defoliated my babies this week. Hopefully the lower buds will thank me later! 😃 I'd like to add as well that all the previous issues that were visible on Matcha seem to be gone, which is good! Her leaves are healthier (a little too dark maybe) and there is no more "tigering" in her leafs! Once both stop growing I'll start giving them the rest of the nutrients to fatten up the buds, but I'll let you all know before I do it! Thanks for reading and I hope you all enjoy the photos!

4/15/25 Things are progressing nicely. Some plants dont seem to be doing too much but 3 of them or so that are really standing out. Im curious if some of these are going to be longer flowering time than anticipated with the very obvious sativa dominant plants.

Sep 6: Lemon Cream Kush is shaping up nicely. Buds are starting to thicken up and get frosty. Might be a bit of a P deficiency going on but I dont want to over fertilize this late in the grow. Sep 7: one last round of malted barley and Power Bloom. Leaves seemed a bit too blue indicating P deficiency so another round of bloom nutes were applied.. Sep 12: don’t take flash pics of your plants unless you follow it up with a far red (730 nm) light to put the plant solidly into dark mode. Otherwise there is an increased risk of hermies.

Day 42 to 49 We are getting closer to an end. Is the second time I’m growing purple genetics and I can say that somehow look to be faster to finish their life cycle; I think the next week will be the beginning of flushing, so I will just give water at PH 6.5, without any fertilizers, till the end which I believe will be around day 65. Let me know what’s your experience with purple genetics and of course if you have some tips! Cheers 🍻
