Another week of flower in the books. The Afghani x Mac1 auto is finally starting to get some terp production and smelling like exotic fruit...papaya leaning. She's drinking water multiple times a day, and I've honestly stopped measuring. I give her water when she's light, and that's about twice a day. She was also top dressed this week with 1tsp of 284 bloom and 1tbsp of guano.

Day 49 This plant looks healthier compared to the last one, but it’s still showing clear signs of stress. The leaves are drooping heavily, with some lower leaves already yellowing and fading. The overall color is a lighter green than ideal, which suggests either ongoing watering stress or nutrient uptake issues. The structure is more compact, with tighter node spacing, but the canopy lacks vigor. Growth has slowed noticeably, and the plant doesn’t have the strong, upright energy you’d expect at this stage. It feels like it’s been set back by previous stress and is now just holding on. Watering remains the most critical factor — the droop strongly hints at overwatering being the main issue. Letting the medium dry out more thoroughly before the next watering is key, and I’ll continue to be very cautious with how much water it receives at once.

I think I chopped them too fast. They should be able to bloom for another week. But I don't have a drying room. Therefore, it must be cut and dried together with other strains.

Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

Week 7 - -Overdrive added -Nugs are weighing the branches down even more - using support from sidewalls of tent -Trichombs are about 20-30% cloudy right now - some browning -Some slight nitro deficiency which was fixed by adding nutes -500ish PPM -5.6-6.2 PH -Warm+Cold days in bay area. Tent is 75-88F. Out door temps are 55-75F -Nugs are huge and almost the size of baseballs. Use a 1 GALLON bottle which seems small vs. nugs

Week 4 these babies went straight into 12/12 lighting, then a longer veg period hence the smaller size as im running an experiment on different lighting techniques with 12/12 start to now 16/8 veg/flower back then ill go down to 12/12 flower/flush just to see how the plants react and grow in size with a much smaller growing time frame of 8-10 weeks start to finish autoz

Al inicio de la semana fueron sacadas fuera del armario al quedarnos sin luz por el apagón , posiblemente hizo que las plantas crecieran o se estirasen un poco más de lo que venían haciendo. Esta semana ya se notó claramente el inicio de flora y las plantas coparon bien todo el espacio, casi que no cabe ya ni un alfiler. En pocos dias, 11-12 dias realizaré una poda de bajos de todas las secundarias, hojas yemas y ramas y así queden listas para terminar de florecer. D9 foliar 14 dias pequeña poda de algunas ramitas bajeras , las primeras . Muy poquito para no estresarlas mucho y en una semana , con 21 dias a 12/12h. terminaré de vaciar lo que quede.

Esa familia, siento actualizaros tarde pero esta es la última semana de crecimiento de las Blueberry cheese de zambezaseeds. Estos ejemplares están bastante sanos y vigorosos el color que tiene es un verde intenso, eso es bueno,siento las fotos con el foco pero es que es cuando abro el armario. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Bueno las maximas de temperatura no superan los 25 grados y las mínimas no bajan 19, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/60% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo poco más la verdad ya con ganas de empezar la floración , buenos humos 💨💨💨

Growth was good this week. LST and HST will continue to spread the plants horizontally. Timelapse is out. I'm thinking approximately another 4 weeks of veg before the flip to flower, maybe less.

📆 Semana 8 La Mental Rainbow entra en el último tramo afinando cada detalle. Los cogollos se compactan todavía más, cubiertos por una capa gruesa de tricomas que le da ese aspecto cristalino tan característico. Los pistilos comienzan a oscurecer y los cálices se hinchan, marcando una maduración clara. El aroma sube de intensidad: dulce, terroso y con un punto profundo que anuncia el cierre perfecto. Has controlado bien la ventilación después de la brotitis puntual, y la planta responde sin frenar el ritmo. Ahora toca dejarla limpia por dentro. 💧 Semana de lavado de raíz: solo agua ajustada de pH para que termine con un sabor puro y una combustión más fina. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Day 107 Today marks day 107 of the grow, and the plants are looking mature and well into the flowering stage. The front plant shows a stunning display of dark green to purple hues across the fan leaves, a clear sign of late flower coloration - possibly influenced by genetics and cooler night temperatures. The buds are dense and frosty, with trichomes covering nearly every surface, giving a rich, sticky appearance. The pistils are starting to darken and curl inward, indicating that the plant is approaching its final weeks before harvest. The canopy is nicely even, suggesting that training earlier in the grow paid off well. Some lower fan leaves are showing slight discoloration and minor nutrient wear - normal at this stage as the plant redirects energy toward finishing its buds. The leaves' darker tone and slightly glossy texture suggest nutrient levels are still balanced, though it might be time to begin thinking about tapering off feeding soon and preparing for a flush.
