Growing Fast And strong

As of day 43 (November 13), the NYC Diesel has stopped stretching and is putting on weight throughout the buds. It is an important time for the plant, as the flowering is going to be critical for quality and yield, but it is also a little boring not having anything to do besides watch, water, and wait. It's doing well with the nutrients so I am upping the phosphorus/potassium it is getting, and I am going to try to slightly lower the cal/mag to help reduce the nitrogen. I am continuing with the Armor Si as an extra potassium boost as well. I try my best not to overfeed, as I find the auto flowers with my lighting setup are sensitive to more agressive feeding schedules. Day 46: did a small defoliation, will probably be the last. Thanks for reading!

Looking good. Top dressed 15% worm castings

My plant smells really strong :D

Howdy! I have premixed 1L worth of PH adjusted nutrient solution which I am periodically syringing on top of the rock wool when it starts to get dry. I see some people only use RO water with cal-mag to start them off, but through my own unscientific opinion I figured 550 PPM won’t hurt considering seeds grow in soil and that isn’t exactly nutrient free! I am using RO water which I will keep in a 70 litre bucket ready for the DWC system once it is up and running. RO system was only £50/$80/€60 from the internet and it’s getting my hard water down to 0-1PPM from 450PPM. Growing my ladies in a smallish tent, 60 x 120cm which is 180cm high. Using one 315w LEC/CMH for the first two weeks, and then adding another 315w after week two. Using 4200k bulbs for veg, 3200k bulbs for bloom. Will take more pictures of the set up in the next week or so once the babies are in the 70 litre DWC Bubble System. Planning on buying Silica Blast to compliment nutrients in the next week or so. Ps, I believe this is the first DWC grow diary for Strawberry Lemonade, hopefully my mistakes and successes over coming weeks will help anyone who reads this! 🌱

Estamos notando que cada semana salen mas hojas con esta particularidad, me pregunto ¿como sera la floración? 🤩🤔

2/26/24. So I flipped these girls 3 days ago. Not sure what’s going on with them? They look like they have little buds starting or something..and they kinda looked like that before I flipped them. I think that’s maybe not normal? I’ve looked at lots of diaries and haven’t noticed that until a couple weeks in. I’m hoping all is okay. The tops all seem very light in color as well, compared to the rest of the plant. Also getting a bit of what appears to be some sorta burn on the tips and some light coloring in between leaf veins-which by looking at deficiencies is similar to magnesium def. So kinda wondering what to do. Slight tip burn and deficiencies? Hmm could be lighting issue maybe. Going to keep an eye on it. Gave transition feeding. Seems early for any smells from what I’ve researched.. but yeah.. there’s a slight smell coming from the tent 😳

Week 10 not long now these smell amazing like sweet blueberry and there's definitely something I've had before when I've bought some personal but can't quite get my head round the smell. started introducing overdrive now as they start to finish fattening and ripening up can definitely see swelling going on over the last 3 days thanks for viewing and happy

04/29/2021 New week and she is doing lovely! New pistils are popping up everywhere and she is starting to get a faint smell I can't yet figure out how to describe. I believe I got some nice close ups on each top, looking very healthy other plants all have PW on their leaves not a smidgen on this girl, and that is my #1 breeding goal (read my germination period) for my girls. Took two nice tops to clone and Work this cross, time to pop some more seeds of this batch and find a good male, and females that exhibit traits I desire, and continue to resist PW!!!🙏 Goal#2 More sativa stretch than my short, Cookie Cake genotype.

Plant has solid root base

This girl has definitely stopped stretching, so now almost all of the growth is going to be located at the buds. I plant to increase nutrient concentration, but also light intensity (this one by pulling the LEDs closer to the canopy). This week it will hang at 30 cm from the top of the canopy, maybe next I will push it further to 20 cm next week... By the way, the thunderstorms are over so now I can consistently keep the humidity around 45% with just the 3 cpu fans ;) I am experimenting with trying to clone some branches even after 5 weeks of flowering. It's just for the LoLs, and to learn a little bit. I took a lot of clones from the bottom of this plant before with great success during defoliation, so I decided to up the challenge. I know you shouldn't stress the plant too much during flower, but she seems healthy enough to take it without a problem. // on the nutes of this week// So this week I decided to up the nutes again to 1.0, as the lower leaves are showing deficiencies, and this time the EC of the runoff is low (plus I've been feeding only 0.8EC or 400ppm, which is much less than people generally feed at this stage), so I'm more confident that it's not a nutrient lock out. We will see how she likes it. Remember that my noob friendly approach is that keeping my plant on a diet is better than killing it by overfeeding it.

Es war keine sonderlich clevere Idee von mir die Düngegaben der Fruit Bomb Punch für zwei Tage auszusetzen um zu sehen, wie sie reagiert. Es hat ihr nicht gut getan, die Blätter sind heller geworden und das Höhenwachstum dieser Woche hat insgesamt nur 5 cm betragen. Das sagt mir, dass der Dünger im Topf aufgebraucht ist sie von num an auf die Flüssigdüngung oder eine anderen externe Düngung angewiesen ist. Die heutige erstmalige Düngung mit Komposttee wird sie hoffentlich wieder stärken und Kraft zum Wachsen geben. Dem Komposttee wurde Wurmkompost, BioBizz PreMix, Wuxal Calcium Dünger, Seetangextrakt und Vinasse hinzugefügt. Das ganze in einem 20l. Eimer mir Sauerstoff angereichert und nach 22 Stunden wurden heute Morgen zum ersten Mal alle Pflanzen 1:9 verdünnt damit gegossen. Der Komposttee roch erdig, etwas rauchig, ganz leicht säuerlich und war auch etwas milchig geworden und nicht nur eine dunkle Brühe. Mineralstoffmangel sollte somit ausgeschlossen sein. Diese Prozedor wird von jetzt an wöchentlich stattfinden. Da die großen Töpfe 72 L. fassen sollten die Mikroben eine Zeilt lang darin überleben können, bis zur Auffrischung in sieben Tagen. Die anderen Tage wird weiter mit Vinasse und Bittersalz gedüngt. Ich hoffe, dass es zu keiner Überdüngung kommt. Wuxal Calcium ist neu hinzugekommen, da ich mir nicht sicher bin ob der Komposttee genug Calcium enthält. Ich wünsche euch eine schöne Grow-Woche!

I’ll start pasting my feeding logs here from now on; Nr.1 — D56 8.5L pH6.2 | Si6 V19 F24 Ca9 Mg3 IN 2.4EC | OUT 2.3L pH6.3 2.97EC • Nr.1 is just starting to stack, she’s a heavy feeder so she’s handling the EC without a problem. Nr.2 — D52 7.5L pH6.2 | Si6 V14 F14, Ca6 Mg4.5 IN 2.21 | OUT 2.1L pH6.1 2.3EC • Nr.2 is still hanging on, ripening and still stacking, a tough one she is. Other than that I haven’t been doing much other than keeping the environment stable 👍

Nearing the end. Defoliated and pulled apart the mass of buds that had all grown into a single main cola. I didn't notice but there were multiple buds all cramed together, blocking out light to the inside. After pulling them apart and carefully tying them down I have been able to increase the airflow, trichome, and overall size while also decreasing the excess nitrogen that had built up in those cramped bud sites. Did all this about 5 days ago and ahe is getting even better. Just a few days left. Also, I cut off a little piece yesterday just cause I'm so desperate. Lol. Next update will be harvest!

esta Emana cambiaremos el foco a 12horas, y dentro de nada entraremos en l ase de floración . Estiraron muy bien esta semana se notó mucho el trasplante esta semana.

So these were meant to be 70 day seeds! And we are on day 75!! They might of been if I did it in a tent with lights and fuck ton of nuts. As I have been doing it in a pop up green house in my garden and using organic nuts (watered-down coffee grounds at veg stage) and then (2-3 banana peels left in water in water for 2 days when flowing) I think they have turn out OK. Still got about 2-3 weeks left I think till harvest. Smell so strong but ever so sweet. Again can not thank you enough everyone that has helped with tips.

So one thing about this strain that was kind of a bummer was the smells were literally all over the place in a great way. Sour gummies worms from the keef, diesle/gas from the leaves, and lemon hard candy/carrots/dab carts from the buds but when smoked it, the floral taste was so rounded that the other smells never came thru except the purple one that had tight smaller buds, had a lemony taste still. (Remember had to cut early from braking). On the other hand, the way this plant grew had me in a state of personal amazement. I was actully super excited telling my friends that it got TOO BIG for the branches. Buds stacked perfectly on every plant. The topping and recover time went smooth. She shaped nicely right before flower. And back to my negative statement that I had..... the smells were INCREDIBLE!!! I recommend it to everyone soly for the smells.

D24 - 10/02/2025 Last week was really good, none of the girls showed any signs of toxicity after the full strength feed, which is good. I’m already seeing signs of pre-flowering on some of the girls, next week for sure we enter flower mode. Applied some LST to the girls and some defoliation. Fan leaves were taking a lot of space, now internal nodes should have more light to use. Not going too crazy on this though. Unfortunately snapped a branch of Northern Lights #1 while applying the LST, must take extra care next time. Still haven’t changed the reservoir, should do that later this week. — D27 - 13/02/2025 Changed the reservoir and mixed nutrients for pre-flower. I’ve been adjusting the LST, but other than that there’s not much of an update. Girls are looking really great and growth is exploding. PPFD is around ~500 on canopy level. — D28 - 14/02/2025 Did another defoliation session. Went a bit more heavy this time. Now we let them recover for a few days.

Whew, I am a few days late in posting but I have been MIA. Glad to be back to my plants and gardening. My faithful follower @hindugod even reached out to me to see why I was late in posting my pictures. A Disney Vacation was good for me but not so much for my plants. I also left my husband and two livestock in charge of feeding and protecting my plants from the elements of nature. Miss Mango Kush continues to grow tall. According to Zamnesia Seeds, she could reach a height of 38 inches outdoor. Our weather has been kinda crazy and hellish- as in HOT- and her leaves are getting burned on the edges even though I have a pool umbrella protecting her from the direct sun. Miss Mango Kush is NOT a bushy plant but rather a tall, lean plant. If you look at her pictures, you can see a lot of buds forming. It has been quite hot this past week, but hopefully we will get a break in the weather. Please continue to enjoy my diary and let's chat it up friends.
