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 57 - Starting week 9 today and she got a good gallon and a half of water and nutes. Buds are fattening up beautifully and is smelling amazing. Looks like the stretching has pretty much stopped and now can focus on fattening up. Doing a little bit of defoliating each day and she’s been taking it well so will continue just a little at a time. Day 58 - Did some more defoliating today and that was about it. Got a couple lower bud sites that are really opened up now so hopefully I can get some growth out of them. Day 59 - Things are looking good and didn’t do much with her tonight. Removed a couple more leaves and that was about it. She’s really starting to stink up the place now and loving it. Looks and feels like she’ll be needing some water on Saturday. Day 61 - Gave her a full 2 gallons of water and nutes today, she was pretty dry. Removed a couple dead leaves as well. Buds are looking great and a couple have the pistils starting to turn yellow and shrivel but she’s still got some time left. All the trichs are mostly clear right now but quite a bit of cloudy as well. Day 62 - Nothing much to update today, just letting her do her thing but will probably start flushing her the next time she needs water. Thinking she’s got somewhere between two and three weeks left. Day 63 - It’s the end of week 9 and she’s definitely fattening up quite a bit. Looks like she’ll need some water by Wednesday so will most likely start the flush. Hard to tell in the pics, but a lot of pistils are turning orange and a lot of cloudy trichs. Still looking at about 2-3 weeks but want to run the nutes out of her and start using up what stored in the leaves.

Banana frosting still looks like shit. Just going to keep going and hope it gets better, again, not much I can do. Mandarin punch is looking amazing. Giving about 200ml of water every 2-3 days, no nutrients in either pot. Going to start LST but not sure what to do or if it’s ready yet. They get sunlight (through the window) from 8-12pm, then under the LED

The ICE is almost done; the NL doesn’t even seem close. Interesting since ICE sprouted a day later than the NL.

The tallest pheno is ready and being flushed for a couple of days now, rhe others are close but still consuming nutrients at a strong rate , I think they will take at least 1 more week. They smell very much like gelato as a group but are all very different from one another .

12/24/18 Decided to make bubble hash with the trim and small buds from all 4 plants. The bubble hash is now drying. This plant has been a dream to grow. No problems from her at all. I even found a couple keeper phenos as well. The black magic soil and fertilizer, along with the aerated nutrient teas that these ladies were feed worked to perfection. All organic living soil is the way to go! Im not finished yet. I will update this diary soon with dry weight and a smoke report once the ladies are done drying.00000

Week 6 and another feeding bumping up the PPM to 1250 ph. 5.8 3 of the 5 are about where I expected them, Think Different is really dense not a lot of stretch on that one. Baby Blue Dream is in ICU for the most part. I laid off the food and water until it dry's out a bit more. Takeaways this week... This is my 1st attempt at autos and 5 different strains at that. A lot of opportunities for learning here. watering feeding transplanting all play into my current results. The Green Buzz nutrients are amazing the sample kit I got is just enough for the 6 autos. I should finish all of them by the end of the grow the size of the bottles were just the perfect amounts for each phase VEG, TRANS & FLOWER with regular watering's as needed in-between feedings. looking forward to some more stretch and filling in the Scrog. I just gave it a 2 gallon flush of PH 6.p water in each pot the remainder in the pan was wicked up the next day hoping for more roots to spread. Until next week Merry Christmas to all and the GW Staff.😇

They're all showing nice little white pistols.♀️ The little one def got a little wind burn from my box fan. 💨🍃 I moved it so it wasnt blowing directly on her anymore.🤷‍♂️🏽 Other than that lots of foliage growth and a little stretching over the last two weeks. Looking forward to watching these develop as the weeks progress. 🤓🌺

SO..........................the girls are doing okay. I can only expect so much, given they're in 5 gals (except for LB), and half of them didn't get a good start. It's a nice experiment, for comparison sake. I don't think there's any bad plants here (of course, I don't think there are any bad plants ANYWHERE, EVER), just some early bloomers and some that still need some time. I've been feeding them with Tiger Bloom and a seaweed/kelp additive, and they've had two doses now of guano for top-dressing. Now I'm running out of room, should've planned better and left more room at the top of the bags. Never again with the 5 gals, they're great for indoor but way too restrictive for outdoor even way up here in Maine. I just finished LST again and they're looking pretty funky, but it's getting the desired result. GLad I kept some of them straight and didn't top, I want to see the difference in the end between nature's architecture and my twisted mess. SO far, so good, but I'm a little worried about the Ph. Again, my solution is good (around 6- 6.3), but my medium still comes in at 7 even. Great buffering shit, but I really need to acidify the soil a bit more. I've got some PhDown, but I'm worried that if I drop the solution too low I'll burn the plants. On the other hand, it doesn't seem to have much of an effect so far at 6.... 7/31 Update: Gave the ladies another round of bat guano, 2 lbs. spread hroughout a dozen plants. Kinda worried that I used too much, but the first applications weren't enough so we'll see. Yesterday gave 'em a feeding of Tiger Bloom, today I watered the guano in with well water that I adjusted (using PhDown) to a reasonable 6.5. A good dry day, bright too, they should soak it up good today!

After you found some good sector and clone it you let the mycelium grow and fill almost all the petri dish like I did last week. So now you're ready to move forward. Making grain spawn!🍄🍄 For grain you can use Organic Rye Berries, but you can also get away with wheat berries, or brown rice or even corn kernels(which I used myself) ! And you'll need some mason jars or honestly I used some jars that I had home just clean them very well and sterilise before using Making a grain spawn can be broken down into 6 easy steps. 🍄Hydrate Grain By Soaking 🍄Make Specialized Lids 🍄Simmer, Drain and Dry The Grain 🍄Sterilize 🍄Put your agar in the jar 🍄Colonize 🍄Soak the grain by placing it in a bucket, covering in water, and leaving it for 12 -24 hours. Easy. 🍄Drill 1 hole on top of the lid. Right in the center and cover with a small dab of high temperature silicone sealant, and leave it overnight to dry. And your jars are done. There other diff types for different methods like liquid culture etc. But I'm just going roughly through what Ive done. 🍄The next step is to simmer the grains on the stove. This will thoroughly hydrate the grains, and will soften them to make them easier for the mushroom mycelium to consume. Cook soaked grain on the stove for about 15 minutes. You don’t want to cook it too long, because eventually all the grain will crack and you’ll get some mushy grain spawn. We don't want that. 🧐After the grains have simmered on a low boil, you’ll need to drain them off. What I did is I drop them in the sink with the drain cover on. The grains will drain over an hour or so, after which you can go ahead and fill your jars. 🍄Once your jars are filled, they need to be sterilised.This kills off all the other nasty contaminants in the grain cover the lids in tinfoil (to prevent water dripping into the lid) and then just pressure sterilise them for about 90 minutes at 15 psi. 🍄After that let them cool down. Get your SAB, wipe down the walls with some alcohol wipes and place the jars inside. And wait untill they will be warm to the touch... not hot and painful 😤patience is key. Bring in your plates that had been stored by you in a dark place. And what u have to do is sterilise your scalpel and just accurately and efficiently decide your mycelium into about 10 pieces and quickly place them in your jar. And complete for every jar u make. You have to be very quick. The more you keep you're jar and your agar plates lids open the more cans they will get contaminated. There certain technics you can see online.. 🍄Ones you're done close all your jars lids tight and Jake your jar so the mycelium pieces will mix around the jar and place them in the dark place to colonize. And just keep waiting... 😅 Untill the mycelium will conquer your grain. Keep your eyes on the jars, any weird smells or colour during the waiting time.. because that would mean you got a contamination going on. Oh yeah and when about 55% of your jar is filled with mycilium shake the sh*t out of it so it will break the mycilium inside and make spread more faster.

Day 28: I have started into week 4, and im curious when the first sights of flower begin. i decided today to cut down my bags, because the lower branches didnt had enough space, maybe this is even the reason why they are so bushy. lets see how this is working now, i bet it will be much easier to water them now. i also cutted one leaf, because it had sunburn because of waterdrops i didnt recognized. The smell is getting also stronger, but still couldnt figure out which plant smells so nice. it is a very nice and fruity mixture. i also decided to Stop LST through binding and bending. i will just Scrog it soon, that should do the part. Day 30: I hope the Temperatures wont drop anymore. had a night with 10.6 °C. The Pineapple Express and StrawberryGorilla did not liked this a lot. But Blueberry, Northern Light and Weddingcake seem to be stronger against the cold. I watered them a bit today, and will also stop giving to much fertilizers. maybe i will skip one Week of fertiolizers, and start again when bloom is starting. Day 32: i think i was again not patient enough. I will just keep them watered until they start to bloom. Will install a SCROG net in a few Days. My worries: 1. I think my Pineapple Express and the Strawberry Gorilla really didnt liked the cold Days. There were Temperatures about 10 °C in the nights. The PE seems to be stunned a bit. The others are developing gut actually, but i hope to have warmer climate soon. My happies: The Red Mimosa is still developing great. Also the Northern light is growing pretty good, and they dont show any sign of struggle because of the low temperatures. My biggest is 30 cm (Red Mimosa), the smallest is my pineapple Express, its only 20 cm so far, but still growing bigger somehow.
