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.

27/04/2021 (Day 42) Todo viene muy bien, las plantas están comiendo con muchas ganas y consumen unos 15L de solución diario. La preflora está comenzando! Ya se puede observar como van estirando y mostrando bastantes pelos! Los Citizen x 8 están trabajando a un 80% rondado los 500W. 28/04/2021 (Day 43) Se realizo un nuevo cambio de solución, las plantas ya están tirando pelos y los leds están al 80%, se observo un gran crecimiento radicular y las paredes del tallo son increíblemente gruesas y duras. 03/05/2021 (Day 48) Las plantas vienen con un crecimiento optimo pero la flora se está tardando demasiado en hacerse presente, se estima que es debido al estrés que tuvo en semana 3 de vege produjo un retraso de algunos días. Esta semana se incorpora Safe Roots al sistema con la finalidad de que deje la solución lo mas limpia posible. También se realizaron bastantes defoliaciones ya que no existía penetracion de luz teniendo en cuenta el tamaño que están ocupando (85% del espacio de cultivo a 30/35 cm de altura)

Good week for this lovely lady. Her color has improved immensely and she's almost caught up in size to the Blueberry. Since they're settled in I took away the support hoops and will pack up the row cover. Yet again I think it did a fabulous job reducing stress from transplanting. I also added in some Calendula plants yesterday afternoon as they make good companions. It's gonna be a straight up partay in this garden bed😜 Update 6/26- I totally forgot to add that on Monday the garden got a spraying of horn manure. Horn manure is a biodynamic preparation of cow manure that's been fermented in a buried horn. This results in a material that's teeming with beneficial flora and fauna for the soil. Ideally it would be sprayed prior to planting in the spring as it encourages healthy root growth. I purchased the pre-potenized so that I only had to spend 20 mins stirring rather than an entire hour. That would have been brutal😵 I sprayed it at night when the earth is breathing in and used a spruce bough to sprinkle it over the plants in the garden. The extra icing on the cake was that there was a rain the day before, and another the day after I sprayed so it was well watered in.

This week was half sunny and half cloudy. I increased a bit the Bio-Bloom and the plant looks nice.

Last week went well. She is growing steadily and I can't wait to get her outside. She is going to be great once she can spread her roots in the ground. I took a few clones to attempt to keep this strain around since it was my only seed. Can't wait for the fall. She had some leaves removed and I did some lst and supercropping to even out the canopy further. She was topped on every branch to double the amount of tops. I will update as she progresses. Until next time happy growing to everyone!

What to say about this week? For starters LST was started this week. Initially I used garden ties but soon after replaced them with 6” garden staples . 2 of the 6 girls began throwing pistals resulting from the LST starting around day 15 YIKES 😬. The Zkittlez & the Runtz both from (Expert Seeds ) began giving the 5x5 its first smells . The LST so far has been a pleasure no ooosy daisies so far & the girls are showing what they are made of . The secondary shoots have great potential to form a nice round bush that I can train out into an even-as-possible canopy . Today is day 21 & day 20 for this bunch . They are only using Gaia Green dry amendments for feedings but I decided to take some advice given to another grower & supplement my girls with some compost tea . NO I DONT THINK THEY NEED ANYTHING ADDITIONALLY IM REALLY HAPPY SO FAR WITH MY NUTES bbbbuuuuuttttttt in the short chance that my ladies may take a liking to an occasional tea & reward my pampering with large , long , frosty, stacked cola’s . . Thennnn I’m supplementing , I consider this all “4-play” for my ladies Ik a giver 🤷‍♀️😭 My only concerns are racing against this clock to get as much size & solid structure before flowering sets in I’ve really got my heart set on a certain outcome & I’m one for a good challenge. Finally , atleast as much as I can remember, I increased the dimmer knob on the light from 65% to about 78%. I won’t increase the watts any higher until bloom sets in fully & at that point I’ll be turning it to 100% raising it a maybe 6 inches & watching patiently for my girls to start praying 🙏 to it . Week 3 in the books !

Bonjour a tous ..enfin les premières commencent leur flusch = 2x cherry cola = 1x gorrila x purple = et les 2 grandes dos i dos de barney elle aussi passent en flusch (strain qui sent bon la kusch citronnée mais l allure des plantes est juste incomparable avec le travail de fast bud et c été bien la mon but vous montrer que sans la génétique on sort au mieux des plantes moyennement belle (cristallisation. Recolte.effet.gout) je vais rajouter 2 ..3 vidéo histoire que vous voyez mes belle de pret;) Autrement pour les magnifiques gorrila x strawberry que l on dirais chromé tellement elle cristalise !! Ben tous se passe bien elles 2 recoivent encore des nutriment leger jusqu'à fin de semaine et normalement d ici la elle seront prêtent à partir en flusch. J ai également 2 monstre de 30 jours que vous voyez en pré- floraison Mention spécial à la orange scherbet elle est énorme pour 30 jours Et ma amnesia x zkitlez elle aussi est bien développée pour 30 jours également.. je précise que je match en béquille je ne peut donc pas faire que toute mes plantes termine en même temp sa me ferait trop de travail en une fois j espère que @fast bud ne m en voudra pas pour cela ;) Et d ici demain je posterai un nouveau journal *bannana purple punch* *West coast og * et bien sûr tous cela vient de mes grainetier préférés FAST BUD bien sur !!! So stay tuned les amis Petite mise a jour ... la miss orange scherbet et la amnesia x zkitlez on été mis dans ma box 70x70x160 parcqu elle n avaient plus assez de place en hauteur dans mon espace spécial autofloraison (la hauteur maxi est de 1m sous la lampe :) sa suffit en général mais la la orange scherbet fais déjà 90cm après à peine 30 jours!!! Et la amnesia la suis de prêt..voilà chose qui me permet d utiliser du co2 en gaz (vue que la tante se ferme ) mon autre espace serai trop gourmand en co2 pour les gens que sa intéresse mon système s appel =airbombz il utilise des cartouches de co2 et est complètement réglable par telecomande je vous porteraient une vidéo demain du système :) voilà voilà j ai hâte de voir le résultat de ces 2 beautées.. On se voit pour la suite et surtout pour la recolte de mes 2 cherry cola d ici vendredi au max ;)

I have been worried for a while about how close the plant grew to my led lights. The usual recommendation is like 16-20" above , but I can't raise my lights and this plant stretched so fast a couple colas got away from me. As you can see in the photos and video, some are as close as 6-12 inches and because this plant is a slow developer, I think it's starting to Foxtail. In response to this and preparation for upcoming harvest, I lowered the intensity of my light and changed the light schedule from 19/5 to 16/8. I've been lowering the nutrients all week and will be flushing all next week. I've been preparing for trimming and drying, only worry is keeping the correct humidity, but we'll see.
